“The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched ...” — Gary Clark Quote

“The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. It's cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. It's not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant.”

“My mom always told me I should have a Plan B. I said that if I'm not going to play guitar I'm going to play drums. And if I'm not going to play drums, I'm going to play bass. I always just wanted to play music. I was completely obsessed.”

“There's nothing like a music festival. People are ready to have a good time. I don't think anyone comes to a festival going, 'I'm gonna be a complete bummer today.'”

“I just don't see the point in sitting around hollering the blues over things you have no control over. It's all in God's hands.”

“I never wore a pink T-shirt before. Blue is my favourite colour and gives me good energy. I like doing my blues with different colours.”

“I travel light, but always with three key things: Passport, cash and iPod. The latter is perhaps the most key - it keeps me going at the gym or on the plane; I listen to everything from rock to country to blues.”
