Colt Clark’s Astonishing Family Gimme Shelter Cover

Music begins before a single word is sung, setting up a bold, full-family run through one of The Rolling Stones’ most unforgettable songs. The surprise is that this is not a stadium stage, it is Colt Clark and the Quarantine Kids bringing “Gimme Shelter” to life at home with huge classic-rock energy.

The Clark family chooses the song because The Rolling Stones are one of their favorite bands of all time, and the excitement comes through from the first musical passage to the closing notes.

Music Pulse readers who love familiar classics with a fresh family twist will find plenty to enjoy here. The performance stays focused on the song, letting the sound build through each section until the final passage brings it to a close.

This is part of a larger project born from the Clark family’s time at home. Colt and Aubree Clark, along with their three children, learn a new song every other day, record it, and share it with viewers.

Colt is a professional musician, while Aubree is a photographer who works behind the camera. The family also homeschools their three children, including through the pandemic, and these videos turn that time at home into a stream of shared musical moments.

Their Gimme Shelter family music video captures the same upbeat spirit behind the project, a household getting together around songs they love and putting them out into the world.

The “Gimme Shelter” performance arrives with an extra reason to celebrate. The video is shared on Keith Richards’ 77th birthday, giving the Clark family’s Rolling Stones favorite a personal tribute feel.

“Happy Birthday to Keith Richards,” is part of the occasion behind the performance, and it makes this already exciting song choice feel even more special.

The song is associated with The Rolling Stones’ 1969 album Let It Bleed, as shown in this Rolling Stones discography overview. Here, the Clarks keep the attention on their own love for the band and the joy of playing the song together.

“Gimme Shelter” is not the only classic the family has taken on. Fans looking for another dose of that big, playful energy can watch Colt Clark’s Polk Salad Annie cover, another performance built around a well-known song and the group’s family chemistry.

The Clark family also shares more of its creative work through the Clark Family Creative store, where viewers can browse the family’s T-shirts.
