Clint Walker

Clint Walker has been a budding singer and musician from a very early age!  At age 7, he picked an Elvis Presley #1 album for a birthday present, and soon found in addition to Country, he enjoyed Rock, Pop, Blues, Rock-a-billy, R&B, and Gospel.  A year would pass as Clint would sing for family and friends during special get togethers, and he got a guitar for his next birthday!
He has been performing every since, and stunning audiences with his vocal range, his variety of musical stylings, his beautiful renditions of Roy Orbison hits, and songs he has written. 
Clint has won many awards throughout his life, and has commanded attention from many in the music business.  When Clint turned 16, he was performing in Grove, Okahoma and was introduced to Jana Jae who was a regular fiddle player for Buck Owens on the HEE-HAW show.  Jana liked him enough that she took him on the road as her opening act for several Wal-Mart store concerts across the USA and to other notable venues such as Rex Allen Days in Willcox, AZ.
During this time, Clint was perfecting his song writing skills and had written enough material to record a demo.  After the demo was complete Clint would sell his cassettes at all the live performance at which time he learned the importance of merchandising and how to connect with the fans off the stage.
Clint attended Southeastern University in Durant, studying Sound Engineering and Pro Audio. While in Durant, he was hired to be a regular with the Big Train Opry Show in Denison Texas performing every Saturday night.  After two years, Clint returned to Vinita, and was introduced to his first manager & promoter, Bobby Poe. Bobby owned and produced a live radio Opry show called the Grand Grove Opry in Grove, Ok on Grand Lake. While with Bobby, Clint opened many shows for Jerry Reed, George Jones, Ronnie Milsap, David Frizzell, Hank Thompson, Narvel Felts, Tommy Cash, Kitty Wells, Ray Price, just to name a few.

In 2002, Clint and his Cousin Jason Faulconer formed a new band named, "Fully Loaded," and soon he and his new manager Rodney Lay, received word from a producer in Kansas they wanted Clint to record, resulting in his second album project titled "Obsession."  Later, Clint was inspired to form a band and started focusing on the rock-a-billy sounds he had heard in Buddy Holly's music, but never leaving his country roots, the Clint Walker Band came out of the practice room ready to play. Already having performed almost 50 shows just this year, there is no doubt they are on to something good. Clint is a star in the making, and whatever group he performs with, he will leave you amazed and keep you wanting more!
