Nic Clark had a fairly unconventional childhood, which is perhaps one reason why his first album, Love Your Life / Songs for the Whole Family, came out youth-centric.\xa0\xa0It wasn\u2019t that he wasn\u2019t supported\u2014 in fact, his mom got him the certificate that allowed him to play in bars at the tender age of twelve.\xa0\xa0It was the school thing.\xa0\xa0His school system in the Denver area had a truancy court, and he set up semi-permanent residency there around the 7th\xa0grade.\nYou see, he had found the blues.\xa0\xa0Visiting a bookstore with his brother, he found a book about harmonica playing which included pictures of Sonny Boy Williamson and Stevie Wonder and a harmonica\u2026.and he never came down.\xa0\xa0The harp was his school, and he never missed a class there.\xa0\xa0Soon he was playing live and then, after the shattering loss of both a young cousin and his grandfather, he found the healing power of music, too.\nWe talk with Nic about growing up in a multi-generational household and how that has affected the way he creates music, how he found the harmonica, why school took a backseat to playing, creating the new album \u2018Love your life\u2019, why he wanted to make an album for all ages to enjoy, and a whole lot more!\nFor more info head over to: www.littlevillagefoundation.com/nic-clark\nSONG BEFORE THE EPISODE 'Love Your Life' off the album 'Love Your Life: Music For The Whole Family'\nSONG AFTER THE EPISODE 'Dance Party' off the album 'Love Your Life: Music For The Whole Family'\n\ufeff\nFor FREESHIPPING from Shop Tour Bus Use The PROMO CODE: nosimpleroad\nFor 20% off Sunset Lake CBD PROMO CODE: NSR20 \nFor 10% off Electric Fish Lights PROMO CODE: NSR \nINTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH OUR GRATITUDE AND THE PERMISSION OF:\nAMENDOLA VS.
