Premiere: Shannon Clark & the Sugar ask: “Carry Me”

On finding relief after a loss

Shannon and Brittany Clark joined the Warped Tour in the mid-2000s, but the music stopped with the loss of their younger daughter. Songwriting brought them back, and the two revived the band. Their older daughter, Navie, joined in 2019, and Shannon Clark & the Sugar was born.

The band partnered with international award winning filmmaker Shawn Spitler to film a music video for “Carry Me.” Shot in and around their home of Darke County, the song was very personal for the family. Shannon Clark recalled, “The song is about coming home and it just made sense.” Shannon told Elmore, “This video impacted me in a way that I never looked at our song the same way. It was a song about the loss of family and the struggle with finding comfort in places you never thought to look , but turned into a much bigger anthem, the struggle we all face at just being happy.”

The trio are slated to release their first full length album Marks on the Wall, produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Mark Howard (Bob Dylan, U2, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Emmy Lou Harris, Willie Nelson) this coming May.
