Described as being the future of Texas blues, Clark's resume has included sharing the stage with various legends of rock and roll. He has stated that he is "influenced by blues, jazz, soul [and] country, as well as hip hop". Clark's musical trademarks are his extremely fuzzy guitar sound and smooth vocal style.
GARY CLARK JR.began playing guitar in 1996 at the ripe young age of 12. Born and raised in Austin, TX, Gary continued to play small gigs throughout his early teens, until he popped on the radar of legendary promoter Clifford Antone, owner of the Austin blues club Antone's. Through Clifford's connections, Gary soon began sitting in and learning from an array of musical icons, including the incomparable Jimmie Vaughan.
Jimmie and others in the Austin music community mentored Gary along his path, facilitating his steady rise, and continued ascent in the Texas music scene. Gary's musical peers, as well as the Austin music community at-large, have showered him with critical acclaim for his galvanized live performances, and fervid expression. At one unexpected point of political recognition, mayor of Austin Kirk Watson proclaimed May 3, 2001 Gary Clark Jr Day. Gary was 18 years old at the time.
Gary went on to win the Austin Music Award for Best Blues and Electric Guitarist on three separate occasions, in addition to receiving awards from various Blues magazines and associations around the country. After playing the nationally televised show Austin City Limits and touring with the likes of artists such as Jimmie Vaughan, Pinetop Perkins, and Doyle Bramhall II, he continued his recording pursuits by releasing three self-produced albums, and creating the original score for the major motion picture Full Count. His creative versatility allowed him to transcend his own musical talents, while also starring as a principal character in John Sayleās film Honeydripper, alongside actors Danny Glover and Stacy Keach.
Originally known as a blues musician and even compared to such greats as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and Albert King, Gary is stepping out...way out. His upcoming CD will really test his blues fans. Will they appreciate Gary's guitar chops and his soulful voice as he explores other genres? Gary hopes so and he hopes they will continue with him on his journey. And with this new sound, we're thinking Gary will pick up some new fans along the way.
HIs first major label LP "Blak and Blu" was released on October 22, 2012

Feelin' Like a Million
Gary Clark Jr. Lyrics
Friday night and I just got paid
I'm out looking for some trouble
I know I'm about to spend it all
You're not looking for a lover
But I got eyes for you, baby, don't see no one else
The way you move, way you move, I can't help myself
Come on over here, put it on me one more time
The way you shake it, baby, shake it makes me feel alright
You got me feeling like a million bucks
Make me wanna fall in love, baby, when you put it on me
You got me feeling like a million bucks
Make me wanna fall in love, baby, when you put it on me
Got me thinking you're the one, you're the one, you're the one, girl
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one, girl
You got me feeling like a million bucks
Make me wanna fall in love, baby, when you put it on me, on me
(Remember that)
Friday night and she just got paid
She done got herself in trouble
And I done went and spent it all
But she already had a lover
But I got eyes for you, baby, don't see no one else
