Click Horning
The Lake Sunapee, NH region has always had more than its share
of musicians. Maybe it's the mountain air or maybe it's the
scenery, but something keeps them coming back. Just ask Click
Horning, New London's singer songwriter who left when he was
seventeen for the Big Apple. Twelve years, a record contract and
an album later it was time to come back. Early influences were
Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Peter Paul & Mary, as well as
rock and roll and R&B that he listened to growing up.
Click's music has taken him across the country several times, to
the Rockies and to the deep south . Click has produced two more
solo albums and two albums with his band Night Kitchen , a "get
up and dance" band composed of Click on lead vocals and rhythm
guitar, Gerry Putnam on lead guitar, Dinty Child on electric
rhythm guitar and keyboards, Dana Flewelling on drums and Dave
Doran on bass.
Click began playing guitar at boarding school, influenced by
other guitar playing students, one in particular being Gram
Parsons. Click persuaded his grandmother to finance a
bottom-of-the-line Gibson guitar (a combination birthday and
Christmas gift). "I had been spending all my spare time
practicing on a friends guitar, but soon found I had to have my
own."
He began playing folk songs, but after hearing Gram and writers
like Bob Dylan, he decided to try his hand at writing songs. "It
was the perfect blending of poems and music that intrigued me.
I've always loved lyrics that tell a story."
