Her music is classified as Americana and rock-centric — the melody and playful lyrics combined with Clark's infectious melody and thoughtful philosophical meanderings are catchy, powerful, and kept fresh by delving into multiple genres. WCB promises to knock the walls down with technique and creative freedom.
