Clark, proud to have his music included in the World Series televised coverage on Fox Sports, said: "The World Series is a great contest and I'm honored they feel my music adds to the excitement. Very cool." Tune into Fox Sports on Oct 23rd to catch the World Series and hear new music from Gary Clark Jr's forthcoming album. For broadcast details go to: www.foxsports.com/presspass.
In a relatively short span of time, Gary Clark Jr. has made an indelible mark for himself in the music world. He has been called "the chosen one" by Rolling Stone Magazine, and "the future of music" by President Barack Obama. Rarely has an artist alchemized the sounds of the great African-American music forms; blues, soul, jazz, hip-hop and rock-and-roll, into one genre-defying statement of unique power, craft and social significance as Clark has done on his forthcoming album. Details of the album's release will be revealed in January 2019.
