Terri Clark

The Grand Ole Opry’s newest member, multi-platinum country star Terri Clark will perform at the Marketplace final night dinner. Inducted into the world-famous Grand Ole Opry on June 12, 2004, Clark is a five-time and reigning Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year award-winner. She hit the charts in 1995 with "Better Things To Do" and never looked back. With three platinum albums, a reputation for incendiary concerts and both CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year nominations, Clark's mark on American country music includes the hits "Easy On The Eyes," "When Boy Meets Girl," "I Wanna Do It All," "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" and "I Just Wanna Be Mad," which became the only No. 1 single for a country female vocalist in more than two years. USA TODAY has proclaimed the new Opry member as "an unrepentant honky tonker in an era of divas."

"Seventeen years ago my Mom and her best friend packed a girl with dreams bigger than Canada in a Honda Civic," said Clark on stage during her Opry induction. "When we stopped at the US border, the guard asked where we were headed. 'The Grand Ole Opry,' I said. Well, that was half a lifetime ago, and now I feel like I'm home."
