Like his legendary Texas guitar slinger forebears, Clay lives and breathes the fiery swagger of electric guitars and the irresistible allure of rhythm-soaked sounds, that’s Clay Melton’s musical calling in a nutshell. The Roots Music Report (the #1 independent music chart in the world) ranked Clay on their Blues Rock charts in three categories: the #1 song in the world for the title track to the album Back to Blue, the #9 album in the world on their Blues Rock chart, and the #7 album in Texas for all genres of music. Clay’s 2022 release, Live in Texas, which includes ten original songs and one cover, was spun on more than 160 radio stations in the U.S. and abroad, his riveting cover of ZZ Top’s Jesus Just Left Chicago climbed to the #1 song in the world on the Roots Music Blues Rock chart in June 2022. On February 24th 2023, Clay released worldwide a new single, “Alive on a Wire” and followed-up on April 14th with a second new single, entitled “Runner.” This young guitar slinger is quickly establishing himself as a rising star.
