Roy Linwood Clark (born April 15, 1933) is a versatile American country music musician and performer. He is best known for hosting Hee Haw, a nationally televised country variety show, from 1969–1992. Clark has been an iconic figure in country music, both as a musician and as a popularizer of the genre. He is an entertainer most of all, with an amiable personality and a telegenic presence. During the 1970s, Clark frequently guest-hosted for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and enjoyed a 30-million viewership for Hee Haw. Clark is highly regarded as both a guitarist and banjo player, and is also skilled in classical guitar as well as playing several other instruments. While he has had hit songs as a pop vocalist (e.g., "Yesterday, When I Was Young" and "Thank God And Greyhound"), his instrumental skill has had an enormous effect on succeeding generations of both bluegrass and country musicians. Roy became a Grand Ole Opry member in 1987 and On May 17, 2009 he was inducted into The Country Music Hall of Fame.

More importantly, Roy Clark is STILL wowing audiences and releasing new CD's on his own label, Roy Clark, Ltd. Please join us for a night full of the sound of the guitar wizard!
