the Music
Borderlands Writer - Showman McClure is author of hundreds of borderlands writings including two books, songs, and poetic works. A musical stylist, his peers call him "a true original" and say "he makes every song his own." The Recording Academy calls his latest release "jazzy songwriter singer" - put him in any vehicle, from a 4-piece unit to a 13-piece big band, and you still get McClure.
