From the deep Ozark hollows of Cane Spur, Arkansas, The Cleverlys have been plucked from obscurity and landed in the studio to produce their first national label release, Blue, available March 22 from Mountain Home Music Company. With songs like Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable,” LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem,” Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and The Zombies’ “She’s Not (Ain’t) There,” this music would be at the edge of being full camp if it weren’t for the obvious vocal talent and stellar picking that holds up to any of today’s progressive acoustic bands.

“If Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton, and Spinal Tap spawned a litter of puppies, it would be The Cleverlys.” — The New York Times.

Sydney-Based Singer Songwriter Mark Wilkinson Shares New single “Thought You’d Be Around”

Says Wilkinson: “‘Thought You’d Be Around’ is about packing your bags and heading off to somewhere new. I think we often find ourselves in situations where we are waiting for something to happen, whether it’s love, change, success, happiness. Often things are beyond our control and that sense of waiting can be paralyzing. This song is about letting go of the past, moving forward and embracing the now. I wanted the music to have a lightness to it and for the track to feel free and hopeful like you’re driving on an empty freeway that leads you somewhere beautiful.”
