Gary Clark Jr Live at The Surf Lodge

What do you old saddle dogs say about this guy?
He's coming to play in Udine soon, and I - apart from this piece I'm listening to for the first time - have no idea who he is.

It sure starts off REALLY badly for me: he's playing the Blues (at least here) with a Gibson Diavoletto.
ABJURATION! EXCOMMUNICATION! EXECUTION WITHOUT A BLINDFOLD!

What do you think: should I go see him?
