Gary Clark Jr. Ain't Messin 'Round on Kimmel/Announces Maverick Music Festival

Well as you all know by now that I have been an avid fan of Gary Clark Jr. and his two releases ("Bright Lights EP" and "Blak & Blu").  Considered by many to be a major influence and player in multiple genres such as rock, blues and neo-soul for years to come, Gary has been on the road like a mad man promoting his new album "Blak & Blu" with a string of performances ranging from night shows to The Kennedy Honors.

In his latest televised performance, Gary was spotted on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show jammin out some album hits on his [almost expected] red Epiphone Casino and band in toll.  Check out his tracks "Numb" and "Ain't Messin 'Round" below:



In other news as well, Gary Clark Jr. has taken it upon himself to kick start his own music festival, which will be located in his home state of Texas.  The Maverick Music Festival is set for March 23rd in San Antonio, TX and will feature Clark Jr. along with other artists such as the Toadies, Girl in a Coma, Arum Rae and Henry and the Invisibles.

According to the website information, the festival will feature mostly all local musicians during the daytime portion, followed by Clark Jr. and the announced lineup during the night. Daytime events will be free, and tickets for the nighttime show are available at the festival's website.

As mentioned before, both tracks are featured off of the album "Blak and Blu", which has charted #6 on the Billboard top 200, #1 on Billboard's Blues genre, and being Rolling Stone Magazine's '50 Best Albums of 2012'.
