Jumping back into the pile of old concert review drafts, here’s one from April 2, 2016, when we went to see Gary Clark, Jr. at First Avenue for his The Story of Sonny Boy Slim tour. We didn’t see him the first time he came through town solo in 2013, so we were really looking forward to this show (plus the $37.50 tickets went on sale like nine months earlier). Carson McHone was the opener, but I think we got there late and ended up with a crappy spot in the back corner of the floor, so I don’t recall much about her set.

To be honest, I’m a much bigger fan of Blak and Blu than I am of the new album. Still, Mr. Clark is an amazing musician and it was great to see him at my favorite venue. He came back to play the Basilica Block Party again later in the year, but we always seem to have conflicts with that event (and I’ve still never been to one). Can’t seem to find a full set list anywhere online, but here is the Riemenschneider review from the Strib. A few pics after the jump too.
