Ahead of the March 22 release of his new album, JPEG Raw, Gary Clark Jr. will play a special intimate show in his hometown of Austin, presented by SPIN.
The March 13 performance at Emo’s will be Clark’s only public show before the arrival of JPEG Raw. In our February cover story, Clark detailed creating a “sonically unique, vast soundscape” melding such elements as West African and Mississippi Delta textures, classic ‘70s soul and forward-leaning beats.
