Gary Clark Jr.

Growing up in his hometown of Austin, Texas, Clark initially played and sang with his sisters at family events, performing songs suggested by their dad. Fast forward, and he’s a teen guitar prodigy getting co-signs from Eric Clapton among others. Making his major label debut with the 2011 Warner Records EP The Bright Lights, Clark has since released three studio albums: 2012’s Blak and Blu, 2015’s The Story of Sonny Boy Slim and 2019’s This Land. His four Grammy wins include Best Traditional R&B Performance for Blak and Blu’s “Please Come Home” and Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Music Video for title track “This Land.” A demo that Stevie Wonder sent to Clark in 2020 led to the pair dueting on “What About the Children .” The funky-vibed mid-tempo track finds both gentlemen admonishing the world’s “heartless people” for whom children’s shattered lives in the wake of homelessness, hunger and other struggles don’t matter. Of working with Wonder, Clark says simply, “I was a changed human.” With the release of 2024's JPEG RAW, what does Clark want listeners to take away from his album? “Breathe,” he urges. “Then go outside and listen to the birds as you look up at the sky. Appreciate the things you do have. Hopefully, the album resonates with positivity and hope. It’s really not about me, so take me out of the equation. This is yours now.” General admission/standing only. On sale now. On sale now. (General Admission. Standing Only) Imported from the official Humphreys Concerts by the Bay schedule page.
