With the years of songwriting from Glen coupled with the youthful energy of his children, Glen Clark and the Family sounds like Tribal/Country meets Gospel/Bluegrass meets Jam band meets psychedelic Goth. Birthed out of early alternative rock writing shaped by a family on the road doing concerts at biker rallies, Wicca, hippie festivals, Rainbow gatherings and such, its a journey from rock, pop radio to gospel ala jam band to deep Indigenous, take you there, worship music. Its a whole new level with lots of surprises to get you there.Band/artist history
Glen Clark & The Family
Called to the ministry but rejected by the church, this left me on a journey as a singer/songwriter starting a club scene known for its spawning of many death metal bands that is now 150,000 to 200,000 people partying on weekends in Ybor City, Florida. A drastic conversion experience would bring me from Satan worship music back toJesus. Then I was told I would have to decide whether my new born son would live or die. I cried to God asking him to keep my son alive and I would do whatever He said the rest of my life. This began a walk of obedience. My son had Crouzons Syndrome. This is where soft spots in the head grow together before the child is born. A series of surgeries would open up the skull to make room for the brain to grow. They built new eye orbits and would use rib bones for cheek bone and drill holes where his ear canals were supposed to be, Then take skin graphs from legs and build new ear canals and bone and muscle from inside head to build new ear drums. Through all these surgeries and 5 years of therapy, 5 days a week teaching Beau to interpret vibrations from a bone oscillator so that when he got his new ears ( man made), he would be able to talk.
Through this, God made radical changes in my life. I began to play music for the handicapped, wrote a song that would become a video that would become a video album, then nominated for a Dove Award. But feeling a call to the handicapped, broken, drug addicts, homeless and poor, I chose to leave CCM for richer pastures in the streets.
Then for 15 years traveling U.S. to the darkest and dirtiest places to bring a message of Hope, God created a ministry. Five years ago, Beau had to have a major surgery. This would require 3 months recovery as they would break his face and mount a halo to his head and then we would screw his face forward til it got in the right position. God said to get him a keyboard to give him something to look forward to and to help him through surgery. He taught himself to play, then he taught himself my songs. And to make a long story short, this tremendously handicapped child that doctors said to let die for he would only live to a year old and then only to be a vegetable. At 13 years old, Beau built the band you are about to listen to. He wanted to play music with his Daddy, so he taught his brothers and sisters to play and sing. A true miracle. So, I did not argue with God and here they are 5 years later. I pray you enjoy this true miracle of God. I am so blessed to have been a part of it. Thank You, Jesus. Thank you, Beau

Frontline Missionaries:
Here are a few of the types of ministry that we do, more info to come here soon.
Biker Outreach
We go to the major secular rallies like Sturgis, South Dakota and Bike Week in Daytona Beach, FL to serve national bike ministries by doing outreach concerts to draw in the bikers. Biker ministries are there to serve food and coffee and share Gods love one on one during and after concerts. The biker ministries then direct them to the local network of Christian ministries who do follow up. Converts that need a residential program we send to the Harvest Camp in Highpoint, North Carolina where we are part of a 90 day or 1 year alcohol and drug residential biker rehab program geared to handle the specific needs of bikers.
Native American Outreach
All studies done on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome have been done on Native American Reservations because of the epidemic proportions of alcohol and drug abuse there. The oppression is greater there than in any other part of America. Yet it was once there land, and for that very reason no one wants to deal with the problem. They are a forgotten people, unless organized crime wants to start a gambling casino. We work on the reservations around America and Canada bringing food, clothes but most of all hope to a dying Nation. We also do outreach concerts on reservations working with local ministries to do follow up work.
