By Gus Samarco, Rock At Night Raleigh Correspondent
Venue:Red Hat Theatre, Raleigh, North Carolina–July 9, 2017
The first time I saw Gary Clark Jr was during Hopscotch last year, at this very same venue, it was kinda muggy then, today was such a beautiful day and I’m glad The Chosen One is back in town. There is discussion Gary Clark Jr is one of the next guitarists of this generation, the man is just gifted and boy, what a great voice.
Gary Clark Jr is accompanied by King Zapata – Guitars, Johnny Bradley – Bass and Johnny Radelat – Drums and it is incredible how well tuned those guys play together. It is just an infinite Groove.
