Country music star Clayton Anderson will perform a free concert at the SageNet Center at Expo Square in Tulsa, Okla. on Sunday, March 27, beginning at 4 p.m. before anglers return from Grand Lake to crown the REDCREST 2022 champion.
Anderson’s latest hit, “Show Me Your Fish” resonates with anglers of all ages and included mention of the iconic fishing brand Ugly Stik throughout the song. The song had its world premiere on Country Music Television (CMT) earlier this week.
“I’m so pumped to be headlining REDCREST this year. Country music and fishin’, what goes together better than that,” said Anderson. “And it couldn’t be better timing with the release of ‘Show Me Your Fish’. As a little kid floating the East Fork of the White River, if you told me this would be happening, I’d never believed ya. Really looking forward to grabbing an Ugly Stik, getting out there and hanging with the pros, amateurs, and all the fishin’ fans. Gonna be a heckuva time.”
A country singer-songwriter with a midwestern rock flair, Anderson grew up on the lakes of Southern Indiana – fishing, boating and playing his guitar. As a student at Indiana University, he kicked off his music career, building a grassroots fan following playing local bars and parties. In 2008, he walked onstage at Kenny Chesney’s Next Big Star Battle in Cincinnati and walked off as the winner. He released his debut album, Torn Jeans & Tailgates, in 2011, followed by Right Where I Belong (2014) and Only to Borrow (2016). Pre-COVID, he toured nonstop, opening for Eric Church, Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Jimmy Buffett, Thomas Rhett, Lee Brice and Carly Pearce.
During the pandemic, Anderson got creative, going virtual and diving back into his roots on the water with a lineup of Lake Tour concerts. To kick off 2022, Anderson released two new singles: “Nothin’ But Net” (produced by Grammy-winning Dave Audé and as heard on ESPN for College Basketball Season) and “Get After It” (produced by Nash Overstreet), a song that celebrates hard work and getting the job done.
Anderson’s appearance at REDCREST 2022 is presented by Ugly Stik. The brand will also be hosting a meet-and-greet with Anderson at the Berkley booth during the expo and will hand out Ugly Stik giveaways to fishing fans who watch his appearance on the stage.
