About Gary Clark Jr.
Gary Clark Jr. isn’t just keeping the blues alive—he’s dragging it, kicking and screaming, into the future. The Austin-born guitar slinger first turned heads with his blistering solos and soulful rasp, drawing inevitable comparisons to Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. But Clark isn’t interested in playing the nostalgia game. His 2012 major-label debut, Blak and Blu, fused blues grit with hip-hop swagger and R&B smoothness, proving he had more than just licks—he had vision. Then came This Land (2019), a politically charged, genre-bending statement that saw him spitting fire over fuzzed-out riffs and deep grooves. Whether he’s ripping through a 10-minute solo or crooning a tender ballad, Clark is redefining what a modern guitar hero looks—and sounds—like.
