Biography
You could easily say these three musicians were made to make music together. Though their paths from Texas to and through Music City have been diverse, they’re finally able to combine their talents and focus their efforts as a family. Affectionately named “Ida Red” by Mr. Tom T. Hall, and later changing to The Purple Hulls, the Clark siblings are no strangers to the music business and life on the stage. “Banjo” Ben resigned from his job with Taylor Swift to sign a publishing deal at Sony ATV, along with twins Penny and Katy. After a year of writing, The Purple Hulls are hitting the road, making sure to showcase their unique harmonies only a family can achieve while ripping the strings off any instrument they can get their hands on. If you’re looking for authentic acoustic driven country music delivered at its best, your search is over.
Nothing beats your rendition of “What a friend we have in Jesus”.
Thanks John, that’s nice of ya!
You guys are great
Well thank ya Matthew!!
You guys prove once and for all that the best musicians come out of Texas!
Higher Ground is one of the best I’ve heard. Good job and good music.
Wow! I just discovered you three on youtube. What a great and refreshing gospel sound. Your harmonies and instrumentals knock it out of the park. any plans for a west coast tour, say maybe Oregon? May God bless your endevours and be with you always!
While searching for beginner banjo songs, found a crazy clip of banjo Ben (love your sense of humor)… then to a quick video playing the banjo … Which led me to videos of The Purple Hulls. I was so moved by the music and how sweet your melodies are together, I wanted to leave a cooment…I’m an instant fan, look forward to buying your music!!
Hi Guys,
I love your music. People make fun of me because I listen to your songs over and over especially all the songs from Close to Home, No Power in the Water and Grandma’s Garden are my favorites. I truly believe that Bluegrass is what Heaven’s Band plays. If I could play Banjo half as well as Katy I would be satisfied. God bless all of you.

Wow, I’ve just this evening discovered you and I’ve fallen in love with your sound. The harmonies, the instruments, singing, it’s all good, honest hard-work talent and its magnificent. From the YouTube videos I’ve seen you seem like great people – and fellow redheads at that. Looks like you’ve got yourself a new fan – time to look at this album!
