Gig Review: Gary Clark Jr. (March 29, Wgtn)

Gary Clark Jr. Shed 6, Wellington Sunday, March 29 Gary Clark Jr. has an impressive set of blues influences but he used them to release the frankly horrific major-label studio debut, Blak and Blu. The idea of seeing the American blues protégé live has to be the decider. He’s been called a saviour, compared to […]
