Countdown to Convention ’23: Clare Dunn’s rural roots and time in FFA can be heard in her music

Clare Dunn is a songwriter who grew up on her family’s farm and ranch in Southeast Colorado. Her rural roots, including her time in the FFA, can now be heard in her music.

She joined us to Countdown to Convention. She and Suzanne Alexander discussed about her being a strong voice for agriculture, her advice to those who want to be in FFA and do not have rural roots, and current and upcoming projects she is working on.

She also stuck around to perform “Out Of The Blue.”
