Austin’s hometown hero of the blues Gary Clark Jr. has extended his current tour, which encompasses stops across Texas and a festival appearance in Austin.
The Austin dates still available on the tour will be September 26 and 27 at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Tickets are available at CrossroadsGuitarFestival.com.
There are four other Austin dates, but they’re all sold out as part of a per-existing residency at Antone’s (where he is a partner and co-owner) on June 18 and 25, and July 2 and 9. Lucky fans might snag a few secondhand tickets from less lucky ones whose plans have changed; otherwise, there’s always other Texas cities to travel to.
Elsewhere in Texas, Clark will play in Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston suburb The Woodlands (at the Buddy Guy Blues Festival) on August 27, 28, and 29, respectively. A full list of tour stops is available below.
Austin’s blues history is full of older, more traditional players who are either near the ends of their careers or no longer playing. Clark has been an important bridge from those long-established styles to something more modern, not just someone keeping the tradition alive but someone making it feel current and fresh.
Clark has won four Grammy Awards and is best-known as a singer and guitarist, although he is also an accomplished songwriter and producer. He has a studio in Austin where he’s been recording teasers for new music and posting them on social media.
A press release explains that while Clark was on the road, he felt reconnected to “the power of the blues,” motivating him to extend the tour.
For most new, non-festival tickets, presales begin June 2 at 10 am local time. Local venue presale begins June 4 at 10 am local, and general on-sale launches June 5 at the same time.
