Vaughan and others in the Austin music community helped Clark along his musical path.

On Childish Gambino's album "Awaken, My Love!" Clark performs the guitar solo on the track, "The Night Me and Your Mama Met".
Clark collaborated with ZZ Ward on "Ride" from the soundtrack to the 2017 Pixar film Cars 3.[19]
Clark’s cover version of the Beatles’ 1969 No. 1 hit “Come Together”, released in early 2017, has become his first charting single on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, peaking at #15.
Clark was featured on Tom Morello's album The Atlas Underground, providing vocals and guitar on the song "Where It's At Ain't What It Is."
