Sooo... Clay Cook: grew up in suburban Atlanta. Went to Berklee for 2 years. Actaully did very well there... learned a lot. Dragged John Mayer to Atlanta (1998). Yeah, we played together for a little over a year under the moniker 'lo-fi masters.' After that imploded, I moved to California and swore off performing for a while. A year later I joined up with The Marshall Tucker Band (2000-2002). Quit that to chill out for a while, work on my thang, learn recording & producing, and play bass with Sugarland (2003). Over the last few years I've played with Matthew Kahler, Jennifer Daniels, Sundiver, Brian Wiltsey, and many other 'one off' gigs. In 2005 I became a member of Y-O-U. Then I got too busy (sorry guys). I split my time in 2006 between Shawn Mullins & The Marshall Tucker Band. I became a permanent guitarist/steel guitarist of The Marshall Tucker Band in 2007. 2009 brings a big change in the landscape as I joined The Zac Brown Band on guitar, mandolin, pedal steel, & Hammond organ. Oh yeah, & I made another solo record this past year. I'm real proud of it. I couldn't afford to pay anyone to play on it so I played all of the instruments myself. It's cheap to make a record when you own the studio & you play all of the instruments.
I'm also an active member of NARAS. I'm on the board of governors for the Atlanta Chapter. I'm also on the Production & Engineering Committee.

I would imagine Zac Brown enjoys playing with Clay(playing Doh) as much as this guy would( meant that in a straight way of course). I am looking to help you fill some dates, as in Winthrop College and their Beautiful Historic Halls! If you're interested. Really enjoy your Music.
