Clark is a godfather of the Austin, Texas blues scene, his role as mentor for blues greats like Stevie Ray, Jimmy Vaughan and Angela Strehli having earned him legendary status. His critically acclaimed records, infectious blends of tough Texas blues and smouldering soul, and his relentless tour schedule, have resulted in legions of fans everywhere.
