Gary Clark Jr.

Acclaimed guitarist and singer Gary Clark Jr. defies genre boundaries with his fusion of rock, blues, soul, and hip-hop. Winner of four Grammys, including Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for his hit single "This Land," Clark has collaborated with artists including Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Nas, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton, and more. About his fourth album, JPEG RAW (Warner Bros, 2024), Roots Music Magazine writes: "This album is a lot of things: experimental, raw, polished, thought-provoking, mind-easing... a triumph of the musical spirit."
