A big week for guitarists in New Orleans with Pat Metheny, Gary Clark Jr., Matt Schofield
It’s a good week for guitar fans, as three internationally renowned guitarists pass through New Orleans the week of March 5-11, 2026. Gary Clark Jr. hails from Texas, so in a way, he’s predisposed to be a blues-rock guitar hero. He made his major-label debut with the 2011 EP “The Bright Lights,” introducing himself as a powerhouse blues-based guitarist who easily veered into psychedelia and other styles. He expanded his range, instrumentation and lyrical subjects on his four full-length albums: 2012’s “Black and Blu,” 2015’s “The Story of Sonny Boy Slim,” 2019’s “This Land” and his latest, “JPEG RAW.”
