You can check out four performances from that show in the videos below. The songs performed include "When My Train Comes In" and "Don't Owe You a Thang."
In other Clark news, the guitarist -- who is featured in the new March 2012 issue of GW -- is scheduled to perform at the White House on Tuesday, February 21, as part of the "In Performance at the White House: Red, White and Blues" event.
