Ben & Jerry's Concerts on the Green: Gary Clark Jr., Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

We could tell you all sorts of cool things about guitarist and songwriter Gary Clark Jr. Like how he was the first person ever nominated for a Grammy in both the rock and R&B categories for the same record in the same year (his 2012 debut, Black and Blu, for which he won the latter award). We could tell you about how he stole the show on the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning flick 12 Years a Slave. Instead, we turn to the leader of the free world, who recently invited Clark over for a house concert — that is, at the White House — and had high praise for the man. Mr. Obama? “He’s the future.” Thanks, B. Catch Clark and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue at the Ben & Jerry’s Concerts on the Green at Shelburne Museum on Monday, June 29.
