Gary Clark Jr. shares past Grammy memories, and explains why he's ready to be more than a 'tribute dude' GRAMMYsFYC
Gary Clark Jr. looks back on his first Grammy ceremony, and explains why he's ready to be more than a "tribute dude.", we asked a series of likely contenders to reflect on past Grammy experiences, look ahead to the future, and break down the albums and singles that could earn them a statue come February.
I was really nervous. I’m getting nervous thinking about me being nervous right now. I was a hot mess, all sweaty on the carpet. Everyone is around. I was being acknowledged. Artists I’d seen forever were near me, like Jill Scott. I was like, “What the hell is happening?” And then doing interviews on the red carpet. I had never done anything that major, so I was like, “Try not to say anything stupid. Make sure you don’t have anything on your face. Try to be cool. You’re in here.
The next few years, they kept calling you back. You did the B.B. King tribute, the Albert King tribute, the Fats Domino tribute. You became their go-to tribute guy. Oh, yeah. It’s also intimidating. I gotta be honest about it. You’re performing a song by one of the greatest songwriters of all time and they’re there watching. You’re just like, “Shit. I don’t want to be here, man. I do not want you standing there.”Yeah. Those are really cool moments when you get through them and you don’t mess them up. It’s just wild, man, to be performing these people’s songs in front of them. It was cool to be with Joe Walsh and Dave Grohl.
