Gary Clark Jr Tickets

It really says something about an artist when they come right out and give you what you want. The instant gratification we have been trained to yearn for. Musicians specifically, prefer to hold on to their most famous tracks until the very end, usually walking off the stage for a few minutes, making you beg for it. The promise of the encore keeps us avid listeners standing in place until the wee hours, just hoping to catch that famous tune. A chance to go back in time. The artist that smacks you right in the face with the bass from the jump though, that shows more than just confidence. It shows mastery of the craft. That is what Gary Clark Jr. is bringing to the table on this current tour. ‘Bright Lights’ right out of the gate makes you realize that GCjr “aint messin ‘round” as one of his more famous songs specifically wales. Leaving the puns alone for a moment, the energy and magic that comes from Gary is the stuff of legends. There are no fancy light shows here. No backup singers or enormous screens with crazy graphics to distract you. That’s not what GCjr is serving for dinner. A blank stage with just his bandmates is what you get. Honestly, it’s all you really need. Gritty blues rock coming straight from the soul and exiting through one mans’ magical fingertips. The guitar is just an extension of his hands and as he strums on new jams like ‘Grinder’ and ‘The Healing’, the crowd can’t help but remain stunned. Air guitars seem to have been handed out at the entrance of Terminal 5 on this rainy night in NYC, as every Tom, Dick, and Gary try to replicate what they are witnessing. You may not know the names of each of these freshly minted songs, but you will by the end of the night. What separates Gary from his idols, those being Muddy Waters, Albert King, Stevey Ray Vaughn and Co. is his versatility. Watching him shred is worth the price of admission alone, but hearing him sing is the cherry that others just can’t top. Reminding me of a younger Curtis Mayfield, Gary is Superfly in the easiest possible way. ‘Our Love’ stamps him as an R&B artist in every possible way, from his soulful lyrics to his silky delivery. Off the Blak and Blu album he brought us ‘Please Come Home’ and now with this and ‘Church’, he takes us from the alter to the bedroom. Not many artists can take the journey through darkness, into the mud while ending up praying for it all to work out. All of this done through 2 albums of musical ingenuity and God-given talent. For those who want to dance, don’t worry, ‘ Shake’, ‘Cold Blooded’ and more will have you moving like you were jamming to Chuck Berry circa 1956. A true artist knows that the future is what creating music is all about. Sure, Gary is going to give you the hits from the past, and lord knows we want them. But even more, he leaves you yearning for the future. In an era in music where Cut and Paste seems to be the trend, Gary just Shreds and leaves everyone else to pick up the pieces. Long Live Rock!.

Gary Clark, Jr. was outstanding. Hands down! He draws you in and keeps you engaged throughout the entire set whether you know the words to the songs or not. Old fans, new fans, it didn't matter. He made everyone feel like they were his personal friends. Black Pistol Fire, damn! I'd see them again in a heartbeat. I didn't expect what came on stage, but I enjoyed every minute. Lastly, I have to give a shout-out to the HOB staff. Class A performance all around. With our needs for handicap accessible seating, they treated us with the utmost respect, checked in throughout the performance, and did everything with a smile on their face the whole night. They made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you!

Gary Clark Jr and his band put on a really good show at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg PA. I was surprised by his versatility in the genres of music - a little 50's ballad, some straight rock, and really kick-ass blues. The rhythm guitarist performed a couple of great solos as well.

Absolutely wonderful performance!! Hope to be able to see him again real soon!

Gary Clark, Jr. is one of the best musicians that anyone will ever see. He is a master guitarist who can play blues, rock and soul. This show, though in a run down theater, was amazing. I've seen him three times before and this was the best performance because he performed new songs from his upcoming album. He and his incredibly talented band played for two hours! The best part was when he paid tribute to BB King with an eight minute version of "3:00 Blues." If you love Jimi Hendrix and BB King, you have to see this guy! He is carrying the torch!

I couldn't help but smile when most of the songs were played. I think that says it all.

There are times when you buy concert tickets based on a past performance by the same artist. I bought this ticket based on Gary Clark Jr. show at the 8x10 in Baltimore. That show absolutely blew me away. I was hoping to experience that same level of excellence. Unfortunately, this did not occur. The show at The Sherman transcended the previous. Thus the title. The band has gotten tighter, King Zapata could stand on his own as a solo but instead is the perfect foil for Gary's playing and Johnny's ripping, steady beat keeps everyone in time.

Gary Clark Jr was amazing played almost 2 1/2 hrs of soulful and rockin blues. If you're into blues should NOT miss this band !!!

I knew the show was going to be fantastic anyway but this was way beyond what I expected. I had never seen Gary Clark Jr live before and he was mesmerizing. I don't know if it's always like that but he and the crowd completely in sync, I didn't want it to end. My boyfriend had never really heard of him before and he was amazed. Such a great show!!! The opener, Todd Wolfe, is the brother of a friend of mine, you NEED to see these guys if you love the blues!!

Words can not describe - you simply have to feel it for yourself.

Fantastic show, great opener very interactive and Gary killed it on the guitar

Truly great artist. Both acts put on a hell of a show and rocked the Casino Ballroom in NH. Wouldn't hesitate to see them live again!

Trombone Shorty always plays his heart out and kills it! Gary Clark, Jr. was new to me. Trombone Shorty gets his usual 10! I was less impressed with Clark, a somewhat mediocre blues act that I only watched for a new tunes (perhaps I should have given him more opportunity to show his stuff). The venue though... I would never return, poor acoustics, standing room only and not the best ventilation.... these guys are best seen in a small club or venue.

Gary Clark Jr. was amazing, his songs are terrific and he puts on a great live show. Trombone Shorty was also very good, a lot of fun. The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom is always a great place to see a show, they do a nice job with everything from the time you walk through the door.

Gary Clark Jr. & Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue were amazing to see! The crowd really got into the bands and had both bands come back to play once their sets ended!

Gary Clark Jr was extremely talented but he played too many slower songs. Needed more faster tunes to keep us awake. Trombone Shorty however was filled with high energy music and a brilliant light show. Dancing and humor with great music. Great night.

Gary Clark Jr. is a genius playing his guitar. Gary is the new generation of blues artist. love his music.

What a great show! Gary and his band are amazing musicians!!!

I went to this concert because it was a birthday gift for my husband. I heard a little bit from Gary and liked him well enough, but going to this concert made me a fan. We sat in the fourth row and the view was soooooo amazing, the sound was great and the bar was inside the hall so I didn't have to leave the viewing area to get a drink. Gary didn't talk too much wth the crowd which I kind of like in between sets but that's ok his music was awesome had a lot of soul and he put his live version twist on them too so it didn't sound like you were listening to the cd. Their is a particular song that sound more like a R&B song but like he put a different swagger to it. I didn't even recognize it at first. Pretty cool that he can do that and still sound great. I suggest if there is anyone coming to this venue that you want to see pay whatever to get there. It was a great night and also won a little something at the blackjack table. Win, Win!!!! Original seats were in section c row v, but a mother and son were trying to give their tickets away because part of their party was unable to make it. We asked if we could use their tickets and we would pass on ours. ( they were having a hard time finding someone to take the tickets). We were running into the same problem but then we found a couple who only had one ticket and needed one more. So we gave them ours. It was meant to be. Then saw Gary walk through the casino after concert. He seemed cool stopped an shook hands and talked to a bunch of people.

Gary Clark Jr was fantastic last Friday evening at Harrah's unfortunately the venue was not as good. Gary Clark Jr played and amazing set for about 2.5 hours. He rocked the house with songs that all had a different spin on the blues. Unfortunately the venue packed in the seats too tight. When standing your stomach touches the seat in front of you and the back of your calves touch the front of your chair. I am 5'9" 165lbs, not a big person and this was very tight! They even sold seats far to the right and left close to the stage so those poor people had no view at all. The room is a flat ballroom with portable bleachers in the back. The reverb and bass distortion was aweful. We were second row center and I couldn't understand a word Gary said all night even when the room was quiet and he spoke to the crowd. Loved the Hotel, Casino, Resturants and grounds, will not be back for another show unless they build a music venue and take the sound into consideration.
