Modern blues guitar icon Gary Clark Jr. hits the famous Carnegie Hall for the first time ever this evening. While in town for the monumental occasion, Clark stopped by the New York Times for a Facebook live interview session. Clark performed two original songs–“Church”, and “Hold On”–before answering some questions from the audience at home. In the conversation, he touched on a variety of subjects, such as his preparation for performing at Carnegie Hall, his favorite things about his hometown of Austin, TX, his work on a new album and a new live record, his relationship with Dead & Company guitarist and fellow bluesman John Mayer, his inspiration behind his songwriting process, and more.
