Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on February 15, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Gary Clark Jr.! You're the only guy who can make a guitar scream louder than my neighbor's cat at midnight. From electrifying performances at festivals like Crossroads and Bonnaroo to snagging Grammy awards for your soulful riffs—your music continues to rock our worlds.

Whether you're shredding blues solos or blending genres effortlessly on stage, you remind us all that true coolness never goes out of style. Here's hoping this year brings even more epic jams, sold-out shows, and maybe fewer broken guitar strings (though we doubt it). Keep rocking hard enough to wake up Hendrix himself!
