Gary Clark Jr. – April 6th – Ogden Theatre

Estimated read time 3 min read

Two nights, two sold-out midweek shows at The Ogden for Gary Clark Jr. and his band. Tickets were hard to come-by on the street and beer lines were long in the venue. This Texas guitar god has been on the scene for several years now and the crowd that flooded the mid-sized theater on Wednesday was a varied mix of people of all ages and walks of life. As we waited for Clark to appear, the air was buzzing with an energy usually reserved for weekends.

Scott Sharrard & The Brickyard Band

Estimated read time 3 min read

Scott Sharrard is one of an increasingly rare breed of musician in today’s popular music climate. Sharrard’s music follows in the tradition of classic Rhythm and Blues, but his sound and songs are such that it still sounds fresh and vital, like its happening now. While the music is a bit more guitar-oriented, fans of the more recent wave of Rhythm and Blues groups and artists like Raphael Saadiq, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Tedeschi Trucks Band would definitely find a lot to enjoy here.
