+ Gary Clark Jr. - “Bright Lights”last week i had the privilege of attending Alicia Keys’ Keep A Child Alive Black Ball. it was inspiring, to say the least. at one point, alicia brought out Gary Clark Jr. - who i had just heard of but never heard at the time. he proceeded to kill it on the guitar as she sang, then kill it on his own (singing and playing) after she left the stage. he tore the place down. it was a sit-down dinner sort of event but he had everyone in the place standing and whylin out by the end. he’s got soul, both on the mic and the guitar. enjoy.
