Gary Clark Junior, Maggie Mae’s Gibson Room
Gary Clark, Jr. has paid his dues in the Austin scene and is beginning to see his star rise. He’s been awarded Best Blues Artist at the Austin Music Awards and recently played a key role in the John Sayles movie, Honeydripper. He’s made quite a name for himself by implementing R&B, reggae, soul and rock into one ball of sensual guitar domination. During live shows he’ll play the drums, bass and harmonica, but Clark is most impressive when abusing the fretboard on his semi-hollow Epiphone. Keep an eye out for Clark. He’s already opened for the Arc Angels and the Derek Trucks band. You’ll be hearing from him soon.
