Clayton Anderson

Date: Aug 11, 2026
Time: 7:30 PM

Clayton Anderson is a product of his Midwest upbringing: a hard-working, salt of the earth, country singer-songwriter from the heartland who 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 won Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star battle of the bands. After moving to Nashville, he released a series of albums: Torn Jeans & Tailgates (2011), 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.
