EPILOGUE: An extraordinary musician who defies easy categorization (is he Blues? R&B? Soul? Rock?) is 34-year-old Gary Clark Jr. from Austin, Texas. A virtuoso guitarist, Clark is often classified as “Blues,” but his willingness to experiment with different sounds, including hard rock, while also showing reverence for a wide variety of musicians who had a huge influence on him, sets him apart as a force to be reckoned with in today’s music world. In this video from an event at the White House in February 2012 called Red, White and Blues, Clark performs “Catfish Blues,” a song that later turned up on his 2014 live album, Gary Clark Jr. Live.
