Gary Clark, Jr. Performs Live On Kimmel + Launches Maverick Festival

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Blues savious Gary Clark, Jr. stopped by the Kimmel Live stage last night to perform two songs in the key of fuzz--the heavy guitar-drenched "Numb" and the more traditional blues "Ain't Messin Around"--off his current album Blak & Blu. A timely reminder of GCJ's unfade-able live presence, because young dog recently announced that he will be launching and headlining his own Maverick Music Festival in his home state of Texas. Clark will be joined by Girl In A Coma, Arum Rae, Henry & The Invisibles and more for the festivities, which take place at Maverick Plaza in San Antonio on March 23rd--get more details from the flyer at bottom and watch the official announcement video after the Kimmel joints. Full support for talented musicians taking the concert promotion/music festival game into their own hands on some DIY sh*t. Rebel music demands Maverick Festivals--purchase tickets at maverickmusicfestival.com.
