WC Clark - NEW!
Wednesday, May 8, 6 - 8 p.m., LHPP, $10 pp
Bring a picnic dinner out to the Pavilion and
enjoy some blues. “If the blues is played right,”
says Austin native W.C. Clark, “it makes your
soul feel clean.” Indeed, master guitarist/
vocalist Clark – known as “The Godfather of
Austin Blues” – has been playing the blues right and cleans-
ing souls from the east side of Austin to stages around the
world for over 40 years. He’s been mentoring young blues and
soul players for almost as long. Blues stars from Stevie Ray
and Jimmie Vaughan to Angela Strehli to Lou Ann Barton
to Marcia Ball have all perfected their craft under Clark’s
tutelage. Clark’s mix of modern Texas blues, searing guitar
and heartfelt, Memphis-style soul vocals have made him a
favorite of blues and R&B fans alike.
