Gary Clark Jr.

Post by vinylpops »

Trying to up my knowledge about local music in my new-ish city of Austin, TX and came across this guy that wasn't posted on here yet.
Gary Clark Jr., acclaimed as the savior of blues, is an American guitarist and actor considered by some to be the leader of the Austin, Texas rock scene, offering a style that has at times been compared to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Clark has established a resume, which has helped place him on a tier with musicians who have enabled him to share the stage with various legends of rock & roll.[7] His live performances, as well as recordings, blend rock, soul and blues, infusing fluid guitar with a guttural howl and a falsetto trill that mix together. Despite his roots, Clark comes across as someone who is forging something unique in the music world. More specifically, his 2010 self-titled EP debuts his ability to explore various genres of music, while demonstrating his independence and distinctiveness from the heavily saturated music industry.

this is cool, i'm sure there's a ton of comparisons with this guy and the Black Keys (he sounds rrrrrreeally similar to Dan Auerbach)

edit: on the slower/acoustic songs he no longer sounds like Auerbach.

Niiiice. He has had one helluva year. I'm hoping to go to his New Years Eve show here in Austin.
