Who's Warming Up the Stones?
Alright, rock and roll fans, let's talk about the real opening act here. Not the Stones, we all know those legends. We're talking about the lucky soul who gets to pregame the greatest rock band of all time. So, who's got the monumental task of setting the stage for Mick, Keith, and Ronnie?
Gary Clark Jr.: The Texan Torch
If you haven't heard of Gary Clark Jr., you're missing out. This Austin-born blues-rock powerhouse is the chosen one to kick off the Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds tour in Houston. Can you imagine the pressure? To follow this guy, you'd need a time machine to go back and learn some guitar licks from Jimi Hendrix.
Clark Jr. is not just any opener. He’s a guitar god in his own right, with a voice that can make a hurricane sound like a whisper. So, while you’re busy trying to figure out if you’re going to wear your "Satisfaction" or "Jumpin' Jack Flash" t-shirt, remember to give some love to the guy who’s tasked with getting you in the mood for the main event.
Why Gary Clark Jr.?
You might be wondering, "Why Gary Clark Jr. of all people?" Well, aside from being an incredible musician, he’s a Texan, and this tour is kicking off in Houston. It’s like they’re saying, "Hey world, we're starting with a bang!" And who better to provide that bang than a homegrown talent?
Plus, let's be real, the Stones are smart. They know that a killer opener can elevate the whole show. It's like having a great appetizer before the main course. You're already excited, but that little extra something just makes the whole experience unforgettable.
So, What Can We Expect?
A night of pure rock and roll magic, that's what! Gary Clark Jr. will bring his fiery energy and bluesy riffs, and then the Stones will blow the roof off. It's a match made in rock and roll heaven.
So, mark your calendars, grab your tickets (if you haven't already), and get ready for a night you won't forget. Just remember, when Gary Clark Jr. is killing it on stage, give him the respect he deserves. After all, he's the one brave enough to face the Rolling Stones.
