Gary Clark, Jr. : "Bright Lights" live and unplugged at Caravan [HD]

http://www.honesttune.com

In this Honest Tune exclusive, a man who you may not know YET, Gary Clark, Jr., performs the title track from his forthcoming 'Bright Lights EP.'

Clark took a break from his day at Dave Matthews Band Caravan in Chicago to perform.

Gary Clark, Jr. Bio: Gary Clark Jr., acclaimed as the savior of blues, is an American guitarist and actor considered by some to be the leader of the Austin, Texas rock scene, offering a style that has at times been compared to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Clark has established a resume, which has helped place him on a tier with musicians who have enabled him to share the stage with various legends of rock & roll. His live performances, as well as recordings, blend rock, soul and blues, infusing fluid guitar with a guttural howl and a falsetto trill that mix together. Despite his roots, Clark comes across as someone who is forging something unique in the music world.

This song takes on a completely different tone when played acoustically.

I love an artist who can perform with different and unique styles, each their own depending on what is up. This is an artist ^

@gtncucla Not sure but he seems to be doing a minor thing here instead of the usual major version of the progression, I could be on dope though. Killer electric or acoustic in my books.
