The RockWalk ceremony made a return to the city of Los Angeles after six years. Renowned Los Angeles broadcast music journalist Nic Harcourt hosted the evening and presented Gary Clark Jr. with the prestigious recognition.
“I am honored to be the latest inductee into Guitar Center’s RockWalk,” Clark Jr. said. “This recognition holds immense significance for me, as it not only reflects my unwavering dedication and love for music but also acknowledges the respect and admiration of my peers and fellow musicians, who I also equally love and admire.”
Guitar Center’s RockWalk is dedicated to honoring those artists who have made a significant impact and lasting contribution to the growth and evolution of rock ‘n’ roll, blues and R&B. As the latest Rockwalk inductee, Gary Clark Jr.’s handprints now reside alongside the handprints, signatures and faces of other accomplished musicians, such as Eric Clapton, George Martin, Jimmy Page, Ozzy Osbourne, Carlos Santana, Johnny Cash, Van Halen, AC/DC and Queen.
