ANTSY McCLAIN is a singer, songwriter, author and artist who calls what he does “humor with heart” – funny without ridicule, sentimental without being saccharine. Whether he’s performing solo or with his band, the Trailer Park Troubadours, he aims to leave audiences laughing until their cheeks hurt and a little misty over the good stuff: love, family and friends.

McClain grew up in a string of trailer parks, raised by a truck-driving father and an Avon-selling mother. Those years became the blueprint for Pine View Heights, the fictional mobile home community that serves as the backdrop for his songs and characters – and for “Way Cool World,” an animated series based on that world that is now in development.

With more than 20 albums to his name, including Ghost in the Window, McClain has built a devoted following of fans who call themselves Flamingoheads, after the plastic lawn flamingos that have graced trailer park yards for decades. Beyond music, he is an accomplished graphic designer and illustrator whose clients have included The Atlantic Monthly, Simon & Schuster and Newsweek, and he writes the “My Tennessee Notebook” column for The Tennessee Magazine. He lives in Middle Tennessee with his wife, Michelle.
