Information/Write-up
A strong Country Music supporter all his life, Clare Adlam has run the gamut of the music scene. he began playing the fiddle at the tender age of seven, a direct influence of his father, who was an excellent old time fiddler. A professional from the age of thirteen, he has appeared on many early radio shows throughout rural Ontario. Besides appearing as a featured guest on the Grand Old Opry in 1968, he has backed and worked with such country music greats as Grandpa Jones, Dottie West, Sonny James, Bill Anderson, Hank Locklin, Leroy Van Dyke, Mel Tillis, Webb Pierce, Red Sovine, and many others.
He has recently appeared on the Circle 8 Ranch on CKNX-TV, Wingham, and his first recording, two of his many original tunes, Leap Year Jig / Adlam’s Reel, rests in the Country Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee.
Clare has owned and operated record and musical instrument outlets specializing in country music in several Ontario towns. At present, he is managing the Country Music Centre in Waterloo.
We, at Cynda, welcome Clare and his mighty fine fiddle to the roster and we look forward to more recordings from a true country gentleman.
