— International Acoustic Music Award (IAMA) Runner Up Clark & Company will release its third album, “Josephine Had a Dream,” Friday, April 21 at Reverb in Omaha. Songwriter Sophie Clark’s song, “Something,” off the new album, was Runner Up in the Open category of the 13th Annual IAMA Awards.

The band’s new album has 13 original songs that incorporate a host of acoustic sounds and styles—including rhythm & blues, jazz, soul, rock and singer/songwriter. The album takes listeners on a lyrical journey, while forging new musical ground that features mature melodies, fresh arrangements and a stirring, signature style.

Clark & Company was created by 20-year-old triplets from Omaha—with Sophie Clark on keys and vocals, Cooper Clark on acoustic and electric bass, Simon Clark on drums and percussion and Cameron Thelander on tenor saxophone. They garnered their second Omaha Arts & Entertainment Award nomination in 2016.

Clark & Company’s song “New Orleans,” off the band’s 2015 EP, was recently named a finalist in the 2016 USA Songwriting Competition, in the R&B category. “Battlecry,” off the band’s first album, and “To Rule the World,” off its second, were finalists in the 10th & 11th International Acoustic Music Awards, in the Best Group / Duo and Open categories, respectively.

Grammy Nominated Musician, Composer and Producer Tom Ware of Warehouse Studios produced the new album. “One of the coolest aspects about Clark & Company is that they are actually playing their instruments—what you’re hearing on the record is them paying live,” Ware said. “It’s refreshing these days to not have to rely on technology. They have a real organic representation of music.” Ware was also surprised by how many songs the young band has recorded: 42 to date. “Sophie’s lyrics are very sophisticated. She’s quite prolific,” he said.
