Southern Indiana native, Clayton Anderson, will be returning to the Mercury Ballroom on Friday, March 13, presented by New Country Q103.1! Mercury Ballroom is dubbing this as the Little Big Town unofficial after party!

In college, Clayton decided to learn guitar because he thought it’d impress the ladies. Next thing he knew, he and his friends were playing local parties and bars. After he graduated, he won Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star Competition.

Clayton's first record in 2011, Torn Jeans & Tailgates, climbed to #12 on the iTunes Country Chart, situating itself next to household names like Zac Brown, Brad Paisley, and Blake Shelton. Clayton has been traveling across the country playing backrooms, side stages, and honky tonks from Michigan to Florida, each time gaining a few more fans. He’s opened for some of country’s biggest stars, the likes of Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Darius Rucker and even Mr. Party himself, Jimmy Buffett.

Clayton writes and sings what he knows. He grew up in Bedford in southern Indiana and spent many of his summer days on Lake Monroe. Even though he now spends most of his time on the road, Clayton makes a point to stay tied to home. He still keeps an Indiana phone number so his grandmother can call him, and makes sure he comes home for family affairs.
