Artists You Need to Know: Gary Clark Jr.!
Dear Friends!
Not since the days of the Master of the Telecaster Albert Collins have we been so excited about a new Texas bluesman who really shreds! Meet Gary Clark Jr.: born in Austin, TX, raised in the cradle of Texas Blues: the famous Antone's. He's touring with everybody, from Alicia Keys to the Rolling Stones and John Mayer. This guy will be HUGE!
"There's a new bluesman on the block and both fans and critics alike have been describing him as being the future of the more fiery greased lightning brand of the genre known simply as 'Texas Blues.' Austin born and based Gary ClarkJr., started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 12 and has been groomed by many luminaries of the Austin music community, most notably Jimmie Vaughan ( American blues rock guitarist and older brother of the late guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan.) He's shared the stage with B.B King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and the list goes on! In addition to this song being a solid rocker, the video was shot in the "living room" of The W hotel in Austin, which looks every bit as soulful, seductive and scintillating as the song sounds! Hats off to Starwood Hotels!! " ~ DJ Matt Cornwall
Talking about Starwood, we are looking forward to seeing our friends this week!
Happy Monday!
