I have never heard of this show — not surprising with all these new shows on the tube because of the writers’ strike. It is called The Next Great American Band and is on Friday nights on Fox.

One group still in the contest is The Clark Brothers who were homeschooled.

The Clark brothers are no strangers to … recording….

Ashley, 27, said he played fiddle and guitar with [Carrie] Underwood’s band for two years. Austin, 24, played Dobro in bands with both Underwood and SHeDaisy, while Adam, 29, has played mandolin and guitar with SHeDaisy.

Their father Freddy Clark, 64, who plays 20 instruments, said he started teaching all 11 of his children to play instruments when each of them turned 5 years old…. All were home schooled….

Anyway, according to an online article out of Florida, you can vote for this band or one of the other three competing bands just like on American Idol. The winner gets a recording contract.

In case you’re interested, I’ll provide a link to the family web site even though it seems a little anemic.
