Clayton Anderson

Clayton Anderson will perform live at the Mitchell Opera House on November 17th at 7:00 p.m.!
In college, Clayton decided to learn guitar and next thing he knew, he and his friends were playing locally all over town. After he graduated, he won Kenny Chesneys Next Big Star Competition. It was the boost of confidence he needed to leave his job at a mortgage company and move to Nashville.

Clayton's first record in 2011, Torn Jeans & Tailgates climbed to #12 on the iTunes Country Chart, situating itself next to household names like Zac Brown, Brad Paisley, and Blake Shelton.
Clayton has been traveling across the country playing backrooms, side stages, and honky tonks from Michigan to Florida, each time gaining a few more fans and a better foothold on areas that arent traditional country strongholds. Hes opened for some of countrys biggest stars, the likes of Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Darius Rucker and even Jimmy Buffett.

Even though he now spends most of his time on the road, Clayton makes a point to stay tied to home. Clayton writes and sings what he knows. He grew up in Bedford, a small town in southern Indiana. Clayton spent his summer days on Lake Monroe. Clayton pulls a lot of his musical inspiration from his home states pool of legends: John Mellencamp, Michael Jackson, John Hiatt, David Lee Roth, and Axl Rose.

Clayton knows hes been very blessed. He says his success has been thanks to his supportive family, friends and incredible fans. His journey, like most, has been full of ups and downs, but he plans to always remember those who helped him along the way. This new album is very personal for Clayton. He wrote or co-wrote almost all the songs on this project. Each track marks a different moment in his journey to Right Where I Belong.Tickets to see Clayton Anderson are $22. Tickets may be purchased ahead of time at ACE/Ben Franklin in Mitchell, or by visiting our website: www.mitchelloperahouse.com. We hope to see you there!
