As we highlighted this week in our Artist of the Week profile, Gary Clark Jr. has an album that’s been a long time coming, but it finally has a firm release date. Though it’s yet to be titled, the long-anticipated full-length debut album for Warner Bros. will be coming out October 23. The album, for which the title and track-listing will be announced soon, was produced by Clark Jr. and Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Mastodon, Fiona Apple).

Clark has been slipping new songs into his sets while performing at all of this year’s major music festivals, including Bonnaroo, the alt-leaning mainstays Coachella and Montreal’s Osheaga Festival, the indie rock-driven Sasquatch!, Lollapalooza Festival and the eclectic NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival. This coming weekend of Sep 1^st and 2^nd Clark will be the only artist to play both nights of Jay Z’s Made In America Festival at Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. Other performers include Jay Z, Pearl Jam, Skrillex, Drake and more. After that, Clark winds up at the final major U.S. festival of the season, which in his hometown, at Austin City Limits Festival

To coincide with the release of his album Clark will also make several television appearances in October. Those details will be announced soon.
