Brothers Yedi, Adam, Ashley, Austin, Aaron, Andrew and Alan Clark, natives of Rocky Mount, Virginia, founded a family band in the late 1990s called The Clark Family Experience.

In 2007, Adam, Ashley and Austin began recording The Clark Brothers. Under this name, the trio won the top prize in the Fox Networks talent competition The Next Great American Band, and subsequently signed to Universal South Records.[2][3] The band renamed itself Sons of Sylvia in October 2009.[4]
Sons of Sylvia appeared on the song "What Can I Say" on Carrie Underwood's third album, Play On. The band performed "What Can I Say" with Carrie Underwood on December 7, 2009, on Carrie Underwood: An All Star Holiday Special. Sons of Sylvia will also join Carrie on her 2010 "Play On Tour"[5]. The band performed their debut single, "Love Left to Lose," on the April 28, 2010 results show episode of American Idol and were introduced by Carrie Underwood.[6]
