    Scott Nelson of Audioasis reviews Gary Clark Jr’s recent performance in Toronto at the Rivoli.

    Friday, August 19th @ Rivoli.

    Gary Clark Jr. is the truth. There’s no doubting that after seeing him live last night. As beautiful and important as The Bright Lights EP is, his live show is something to be coveted. He spits guitar wielding fire at you without conscience, leaving your tongue hanging to put out the flames. He has a soul based in tradition, but he’s a musician for the future.
