Clay Potts was born to entertain and in many circles he's considered the BEST in the business.
His first gig was at age 13. Initially attracted to the roots-rock sound of Elvis Presley and Little Richard, Potts soon discovered the electrified big-city blues music indigenous to New York.
Not content with viewing the scene from the audience, Potts was known to leap onto the stage, asking if he could sit in as he simultaneously sang harmony with the greats.
Potts was quickly accepted in the city, as much for his ability as for the audiences' appreciation of the novelty of seeing a young white singer in a part of town where few whites were seen.
In addition to playing with the established stars of the day, Potts began to search out older, forgotten bluesmen, playing and recording with Charley Schmeyer, Yank Durham, Little Onion Jackson and Big Boy Lenclad, among others. Potts vocal work as a backup singer caught the ear of legendary PKY producer and talent scout Dickie Lyle., who flew to New York and immediately signed him to a recording contract. Unfortunately PKY was sold to Columbia and Potts opted out of the deal.
In 1978 he was in St. Louis, where he met record producer Mordechai Brown who signed him to a contract with Pigeon Records. He stayed with Pigeon for 7 years, recording such blues hits as "Baby, Please Get Out of My Life" and "Crawlin' Thru The Mud To You".
Potts remained a noted blues artist thru the 1990s, with his stylish vocals becoming popular with folk-blues fans. In 2001 he gave up the blues for a more Cabaret style of music. He became a regular on the concert and coffeehouse circuits, touring Europe and Japan.

Still a young man he continues to thrill audiences. Creating joy through his music is what he lives for!
