2017 was yet another banner year for Gary Clark Jr. who released his second critically-revered live album Live NORTH AMERICA 2016, toured with Eric Clapton and My Morning Jacket, played numerous festivals around the world, and sold out his own theater shows. Clark also impacted radio with his first hit single, his updated version of The Beatles classic "Come Together" from the DC/Warner Bros. Pictures Justice League. Clark teamed up with DJ/producer Junkie XL to record one of the most iconic Lennon/McCartney compositions and found a way to create something completely new in the process. An avid Beatles fan, Clark approached this project with a sense of respect and brevity. The end result retains the original aesthetic while recombining the molecules into something UNCOMPROMISING and sonically powerful. "Come Together" entered the Billboard Rock Charts at #20 and continued its ascent. On the Spotify "Rock This" chart, "Come Together" rose to the #1 position, knocking U2 out of the top spot where it remained from December 8 through 29. "Come Together" remains steadfast on the "Rock This" chart.

Most recently Clark has been busy writing and preparing new material for his next studio album. Once again he was invited to participate in this year's GRAMMY® Awards as both a presenter and performer. This marks Clark's unprecedented third Grammy performance in the past four years. A fine excuse to take a break, Clark performed alongside Jon Baptiste for a heartfelt tribute to the late, venerated architects of rock 'n' roll Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, blazing through "Ain't That A Shame" and "Maybelline." Billboard observed, "Two of the great pioneers of rock and roll probably deserve a little stronger an homage than half a song each -- but for a truncated tribute, Batiste and Clark performed admirably. Their reverence shone brightest through the instrumental passages that ended each song, Batiste hammering on the piano and Clark shredding on guitar, an increasingly rare display of instrumental virtuosity at music's biggest night."
