STORY
ABOUT WILLIAM CLARK GREEN
William Clark Green is a Texas-born singer-songwriter known for his raw, honest songwriting and electrifying live shows.
With over 15 years of storytelling through song, the Flint, Texas native has built a reputation that transcends state lines, combining a love for tradition with a fearless drive to evolve. His band is as road-tested as they come, and together they create a sound that blends emotion and authenticity. He’s all grit, all true, and all out there.
Green has become known for delivering high-energy, unapologetic performances that connect deeply with fans, as witnessed on his three live albums. Whether performing a heart-wrenching ballad or a foot-stomping anthem, his live shows are a testament to his commitment to his craft. Rooted in the proud Texas country scene, he honed his skills in Lubbock’s live music circuit, but his sound and storytelling have taken him far beyond those borders. His sandpaper vocals and dynamic mix of back-alley grit and gravel-road grace make each song an unflinching portrait of life’s struggles and triumphs, often delivered with sardonic wit and heartfelt honesty.
The songs on his six studio albums draw inspiration from roots rock, Western balladry, and even orchestral strings, and Green continues to push boundaries while staying true to his signature style. Beyond his solo career, he’s also a member of The Panhandlers alongside Josh Abbott, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero (of Flatland Cavalry), collaborating with some of today’s best songwriters. With a growing national presence, he’s carving out a space that’s entirely his own.
“It’s about chasing that high of something new,” Green says. “I’m ready to see where the road leads and take this music as far as it’ll go. No constraints, no limits—just honest stories and good times.”
HIGH COTTON RELIEF FUND
The High Cotton Relief Fund is a 501c quietly working behind the scenes to provide essential support to West Texas farmers and their families when they need it most.
Texas is responsible for over 40% of the cotton produced in the U.S. each year, with much of it coming from West Texas, and the organization, made up of 10 local professionals from the cotton and farming industry, has already raised over $2.25 million and continues to grow.
COTTON FEST
Cotton Fest is a vibrant music and cultural festival held in Lubbock, Texas, at Cooks Garage. This BYOB country music event kicks off with a Thursday night acoustic party featuring William Clark Green and friends. The festival also offers exclusive VIP packages for the weekend. A portion of proceeds benefit William Clark Green's High Cotton Relief Fund. Since its founding in 2018, Cotton Fest has been dedicated to raising funds for the High Cotton Relief Fund, a cause close to William's heart.
