July 14 marked another milestone show in the storied history of Antone’s. Celebrating its 41st anniversary, the venue hosted a surprise family get-together featuring Gary Clark Jr. and Barbara Lynn, as well as Don Leady and his Rockin’ Revue featuring Jack Montesinos.
A sold-out crowd shared an intimate evening with Texas music greats and Susan Antone at the new space on East Fifth Street. Halfway through his set, after commenting on how damn hot it was, Clark recognized the uniqueness of the night — both points agreed upon by all in attendance.
