Hailing from the heart of Nashville, Clayton Mann is the lovechild of rock-n-roll rebellion and county-pop-infused swagger. This magnetic artist, with a voice that could shatter glass and mend hearts, first honed his craft in the gritty dive bars of Chicago as a brazen teen. Now, armed with a four-plus octave range that channels the raw power of Freddie Mercury and the emotive flair of Lady Gaga, Clayton is redefining what it means to command a stage.

With blistering guitar riffs, infectious melodies, and a soulful edge, Clayton’s sound fuses the anthemic energy of Queen and KISS with the storytelling grit of Chris Stapleton and Waylon Jennings, sprinkled with the bluesy swagger of B.B. King and Elvis Presley’s timeless charisma. His lyrics paint vivid stories, delivered with a high-voltage energy that leaves audiences buzzing. A triple threat—singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano, bass)—Clayton’s professionally trained voice soars from spine-tingling baritone lows to stratospheric highs, making every performance a visceral thrill ride.

Clayton’s star is rising fast. He’s ignited stages at major festivals like Country Thunder WI, Country Fest Cadott, and Kicker Country Stampede, sharing bills with heavyweights like Luke Combs, The Blues Brothers, and Whey Jennings. He’s rocked iconic venues from the Whiskey-a-Go-Go on Sunset Strip to the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Hard Rock Chicago, and Nashville’s Music Row. Clayton also left his mark as the grand opening act for Chase Rice’s “Welcome to the Farm” venues in Chicago, St. Pete, and Cleveland.
