The trek kicks off in February in Reno
Gary Clark Jr. will embark on a 2025 North American tour in support of his critically acclaimed album JPEG RAW, released earlier this year via Warner Records. Kicking off at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, NV on February 19th, the trek will continue with shows in Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, and more before concluding on March 15th in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
Presales start tomorrow (Wed, Oct 2nd) at 10 am local time ahead of the public on-sale to follow on Friday, October 4th at 10 am local time.
JPEG RAW signals a brave new world for Clark’s ever-expanding creative palette. The new music is dense and adventurous with a more cohesive synthesis of his eclectic musical universe. His samples, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Boy Williamson decorate flourishes of African, world music, and even jazz while merging with rock, R&B, hip-hop and blues, familiar areas he has ventured into before, this time with more unity forging a fresh new style. Clark’s lyrics are pointed, deeply personal, outspoken and socially conscious with occasional forays into rap and spoken word from Clark himself. The sonics are immersive, verging on modern groove-oriented psychedelia with hip-hop-driven beats in verses giving way to anthemic choruses, rich with power-chording and wide fuzz riffage.
JPEG RAW is Clark’s first album since 2019’s critically lauded This Land, which became his third consecutive top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and garnered three Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance (“This Land”) and Best Contemporary Blues Album (This Land). Clark’s first Grammy win was awarded in 2014 for Best Traditional R&B Performance (“Please Come Home”).
Since its release, the singer-songwriter has toured extensively and stretched his wings as an actor, playing American blues legend Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, which received eight Academy Award nominations. Clark also served as the official Music Director for Jon Stewart’s acceptance of the 23rd Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. In addition to programming the event, he delivered a powerful tribute on stage, which aired on PBS nationwide.
