On Wednesday, Gary Clark Jr. took to the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium at US Cellular Center in Asheville, North Carolina along with fellow Austinite Jackie Venson. Dubbed “The Chosen One,” Gary Clark Jr. has been quickly rising the ranks to superstar status, with his soulful mix of blues and rock ‘n’ roll garnering him new fans consistently as well as headlining slots at major music festivals, such as the 50th anniversary of Monterey Pop. Going to one of his performances, it’s easy to see why the relatively young musician has earned such acclaim—Clark’s shows are powerful, with his commanding songwriting and straightforward stage presence highlighting his immense musicality, both vocally and with a guitar. For his performance in Asheville earlier in the week, the show proved no different.
