Terri Clark
Terri Clark will be featured in her own spotlight exhibit, titled Terri Clark: Canadian Country Singer, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The new exhibit, located on the second floor gallery within the museum’s permanent exhibition, will be revealed Sept. 13. Terri Clark: Canadian Country Singer will run through Dec. 31.
Clark will hold a special interview and brief performance in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Ford Theater on Oct. 12 at 1:30 p.m. The program is included with museum admission and is free to museum members.
Clark was born in Montréal, Québec, and moved to Nashville in the late 1980s, where she landed a gig at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. She signed to Mercury Records in 1994, and her debut single, “Better Things to Do,” became a Top 5 hit. Clark’s other hits include “When Boy Meets Girl,” “Now That I Found You,” “I Wanna Do It All” and “Girls Lie Too.” In 2004, she became the first female Canadian artist to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

-Original manuscript for “Better Things to Do,” written by Tom Shapiro, Terri Clark and Chris Waters.
