    GARY CLARK, JR. 21st Century Blues The last two years have yielded a dizzying RISING FROM AUSTIN parade of triumphs for Gary Clark, Jr., the 28-year-old artist from Austin, Texas. With the by Tom Hyslop force of Warner Brothers Records behind him, Clark has received a promotional push that rivals that of any mainstream artist, one that certainly exceeds anything witnessed in the blues realm at least since the 1980s, with the mainstream breakouts of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray, and possibly since the highly-publicized signing of Johnny Winter by Columbia Records in 1969. In the course of the blitz, Clark has performed at every major festival, including Coachella, SXSW, Made In America, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Lollapalooza, Dave Mathews Band Caravan, Newport Folk Fest, Electric Forest, Sasquatch! Festival, Mountain Jam, and others, along with dates in the most coveted clubs; received ink in a dizzying variety of publications, from MOJO and SPIN to such unexpected settings as Esquire, Vanity Fair, and even the mainstream Entertainment Weekly, with recurring coverage in Rolling Stone, including a five- star rating for his debut EP on Warners, in a write-up that led off the review section; and made appearances on the major late-night shows: Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has taped an episode of Austin City Limits as headliner. A fragment of “Bright Lights” provided the soundtrack to a major mobile phone provider’s ubiquitous TV advertisement, and the video for “Ain’t Messin’ ‘Round” received regular rotation on VH1, America’s almost univer- sally available cable music television channel.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Bridget Smith v.845.583.2179 Photos & Interviews may be available upon request [email protected] BLUES ROCK GUITARIST JIMMIE VAUGHAN ADDED TO BETHEL WOODS EVENT GALLERY LINE-UP Tickets On-Sale Friday, June 7th at 10 AM May 31, 2019 (BETHEL, NY) – Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the nonprofit cultural center located at the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival in Bethel, N.Y., will welcome blues legend Jimmie Vaughan on September 29th for a performance in the Event Gallery. Reserved seating tickets will go on-sale to the general public on Friday, June 7th at 10:00 AM at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org, www.Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 1.800.745.3000. Plus, prior to the concert, Bethel Woods will put a farm-fresh twist on its Event Gallery concert experience with a bountiful pre-show farm-to-table dinner. Taking place in the open-air Market Sheds overlooking the historic Woodstock festival field, the multi-course dinner will feature delicious recipes using locally-sourced ingredients and are presented by Bethel Woods' own Executive Chef, Jodi Cummings. The communal, family style seating wholly embodies the "Peace, Love and Music" atmosphere and is wonderful to experience with neighbors and friends, both old and new. Tickets for the farm-to- table experience also go on-sale Friday, June 7th; this does not include admission into the concert. Jimmie Vaughan's new album, BABY, PLEASE COME HOME, is a rolling and righteous celebration of everything the blues can be. The songs can go up, down, sideways and even off in their own distinctive direction, but one thing is certain, each and every one of them is packed with pure feeling and striking originality.

  • Jimmie Vaughan More Blues, Ballads and Favorites Bio
    Jimmie Vaughan More Blues, Ballads and Favorites Bio For Jimmie Vaughan, too much of a good thing is a concept that simply doesn‟t exist. The legendary Texan guitar dynamo was so pleased with the response to his 2010 album Blues, Ballads and Favorites that he decided to follow it up with a brand new collection he‟s calling— what else?—More Blues, Ballads and Favorites! Packed with 16 covers of classic tunes that are close to his heart, the album—recorded, like the previous one, in his hometown of Austin, Texas—reunites Vaughan with the same cast of musicians that helped him out on the previous set. Also returning for round two, to assist with the vocals, is Lou Ann Barton, whose powerful pipes grace several tunes on the new release. “The first album was a success,” says Vaughan, “and what happened is I never really stopped. Even after I turned the first one in I was still recording. I‟ve decided that, as long as I feel like it, I‟m going to do that from now on.” Jimmie Vaughan—who first came to prominence as co-founder of the pioneering Texas blues- rock band the Fabulous Thunderbirds in the ‟70s— has certainly earned the right to do whatever he wants whenever he wants to do it. Since he was a kid, Vaughan has dedicated his life to mastering his axe and reminding folks what American music is all about—music, he says, that need not be categorized. “When I talk about country and blues, they‟re the same thing,” he says.

This exercise allows you to paint a figurative, or even literal picture of what your life will look like in the future. These kinds of solutions are theoretically and practically impossible to implement based on c- tralised client-server architectures.

Despite this broadening of substance and support, these laboratories remain the unique locus of science and engineering (SE) for the U. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Author Gordon redefines the pejorative term to mean something much broader: French men and women "horizontally collaborated" to overcome all social obstacles, divisions, and regulations. He takes apart the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in reports, the wide range of theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned around and flew in the opposite direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now implement to ensure it never happens again.
