Performing Live at the Gramohone
WC Clark
“Modern Texas blues at its best…impeccable, soothing soul and flashy, jumped-up roadhouse blues…heartfelt emotion and sweet as molasses soul delivery…as a vocalist, he’s untouchable.”
–Blues Revue
“W.C. Clark has it all…everything from good old rock ‘n ‘roll and gritty roadhouse R&B to strutting Memphis soul, second-line funk and contemporary blues.”
–Living Blues
“If the blues is played right,” says Austin, Texas native W.C. Clark, “it makes your soul feel clean.” Indeed, master guitarist/vocalist Clark – known as “The Godfather of Austin Blues” – has been playing the blues right and cleansing souls from the east side of Austin to stages around the world for over 40 years. He’s been mentoring countless young blues and soul players in the finer points of the music for almost as long. Blues stars from Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan to Angela Strehli to Lou Ann Barton to Marcia Ball have all perfected their craft under Clark’s tutelage. Clark’s mix of modern Texas blues, searing guitar and heartfelt, Memphis-style soul vocals have made him a favorite of blues and R&B fans alike.
Doors for 7 pm show at 6 pm. Doors for 9 at 8:45. Cover charge for each show is $10, 21+
We will be clearing the house after the 1st show and everyone will have to re-enter for the second show.

Hey all you blues and soul fans! This cat is the real deal – Stevie Ray Vaughan played in W.C.’s band back in the day in Austin. W.C. treads that path where blues and soul meet, and it’s all good!
