For Grammy winner Gary Clark Jr. it was an emotional homecoming in the club he legitimately calls "home" - Austin's legendary "Home Of The Blues," Antone's Nightclub. Clark first played Antone's as a fifteen-year-old obsessed with blues history and now he's both one of the most respected and revered artists in blues and R&B, and in a full-circle move, a part-owner of the club's latest iteration. His 20-song set for a crowd of 350 invited guests for the season finale of Live from the Artists Den featured songs from his 2012 breakthrough Blak and Blu and last year's genre-bending follow-up, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim. Among the highlights of a night filled with fiery, jaw-dropping guitar heroism and bright flashes of a gorgeous falsetto, a loud, muscular take on "Bright Lights" and a supremely funky meditation on the impact of music, "The Healing."
