Live Music: Gus Clark at The Icehouse

Central Texas-based musician Gus Clark is an accomplished vocalist, songwriter, band leader, and multi-instrumentalist.

Gus pays beautiful homage to a deep well of golden-era American music traditions, blending 1950s and 60s honky tonk and classic country, with influences from Tex-Mex, Western-Swing, pre-WWII blues, Zydeco and R&B while adding a unique and contemporary style all his own.

In a voice that combines unique sincerity with pitch-perfect emotive richness, Clark delivers classic barn-burners, good-time dance tunes, bittersweet heartbreak ballads, and more, taking listeners on a journey through American music, baring his soul, distinct personalty, and inimitable presence. His remarkable tenor and powerful musical presence are guaranteed to both wrench hearts and propel listeners onto the dance floor, whether Clark performs solo or backed by his rock-solid honky tonk band.

Gus has shared the stage with contemporary greats and fellow up-and-comers such as CCharley Crockett, Pat Green, Jim Lauderdale, Vincent Neil Emerson, Doug Kershaw, Ryan Bingham, Dale Watson, Jesse Daniel, Wayne “The Train” Hancock, Rosie Flores, Willi Carlisle, Nick Shoulders, Dylan Earl, Pokey LaFarge, Abe Mac, Eillen Jewell, Cactus Blossoms, Jeremy Pinnell, Whitney Rose, Jaime Wyatt and many more.
