A Song for Everyone who Loves a “Military Man”- Pearl Clarkin
Pearl Clarkin began performing live music venues at the age of 12 in her home town of Pensacola Beach, Florida. She is an acclaimed songwriter and has performed many times on the circuit in Nashville at venues such as The Bluebird Cafe, The Listening Room Cafe, and any of the Nashville hot spots for originals and showcases.
She serves as an advocate for equality for women in country music and fronts the all-female band Rhinestone.
Clarkin on “Military Man”: This song is very personal to me, as it’s a part of my life I have not always talked about. The pain of watching your loved ones suffer from war is tough, but the pride and love that you have for the person who served overpowers the struggle. I decided to write a song for those wives, daughters, sons, uncles, best friends, etc. of a military man. If you love your military man, this song was written for you.”
