Clayton Anderson

Crump Center for the Performing Arts is proud to present Clayton Anderson!

Listen to Clayton Anderson’s music – or listen to him tell a story about fishing with his grandpa or how his blue collar dad never missed one of his baseball games – and one thing becomes immediately clear. Anderson is a product of his upbringing: a hard-working, salt of the earth, country singer-songwriter from the heartland. His songs and his story are woven from the cloth of his hometown as well as the durable red, white, and blue of America.

His is a story that kicked off in the midwest: Anderson grew up fishing, boating, and playing his guitar on the lakes of Southern Indiana. Inspired by his home state music heroes – John Mellencamp, John Hiatt, and Michael Jackson, – Anderson set off on a music career, building a grassroots following playing the frat circuit at Indiana University. 

In 2008, he took home the win for Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star battle of the bands. In Anderson’s world, when you want something, you get after it, so after his big win, he moved to Nashville and threw himself into building a country music career. A series of albums followed, starting with Torn Jeans & Tailgates (2011), followed by Right Where I Belong (2014), Only to Borrow (2016), and a lineup of singles. He performed alongside the Zac Brown Band at the Indy 500 and opened for Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Jimmy Buffett, Thomas Rhett, Lee Brice, and Carly Pearce.
