His music is based in the traditions of Folk, Blues, Country, Gospel and Roots Rock. and is always finding new paths to travel.
"Uniquely Minnesotan. Intellectually influenced by Bob Dylan with the soul of the Mississippi Delta." Patrick Noaker)
"What Strikes me the most Clark Machtemes and his group is their "taste" in music. Beyond musicianship and technique the listener senses a mastery and confidence in which their personal expression comes through in their work." (Wayne Christeson. Author and Music Critic, Nashville TN.)
