On top of his appearance at this year’s Bluesfest in Byron Bay, blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr. is set to headline a series of shows across Australia with a final stop in Perth on April 27th.
Hailed as THE Blues guitarist of our era, Gary Clark Jr. will be gracing Bluesfest and the rest of Australia with his presence for the third time this April. Weaned on John Lee Hooker, Lightnin’ Hopkins and T-Bone Walker in Austin, Texas, Gary Clark Jr. fuses his deep Blues influence with a love of classic Hip-Hop and Contemporary Soul.
His voice weaves between a melodic lilt and a seasoned Blues howl with his guitar licks dancing and dodging between and behind the beat as if the essence of Snoop and Dre loom in his head by way of the Mississippi Delta. Gary Clark Jr. exploded onto the music scene at Eric Clapton’s 2010 Crossroads Guitar festival and has garnered millions of fans since.
The GRAMMY® Award-winning maverick channels his signature sense of soul from the crossroads of rock ‘n’ roll, blues, jazz, hip-hop, reggae and punk. Clark’s most accomplished songwriting and virtuosic performances to date; This Land delivers socially relevant, transcendentally ambitious, and musically rich declaration as unapologetic, undeniable, and unique as he is. Clark emerges with a body of work that is dynamic in every sense, embodying an ever-evolving sound that transformed him into an artistic force anointed by everyone from President Barack Obama to the late Prince.
