    Play Like Gary

    Texas musician Gary Clark Jr. honors B.B. King with $8,000 Gibson guitar

    Houstonians who want to play guitar like Gary Clark Jr. will have to get a lot of practice in — but maybe having the same Gibson will help? Gibson Custom is now offering up the Gary Clark Jr. ES-355, a limited-edition model that the famous brand is presenting as "a tribute to the tone and tradition of blues trailblazers."

    The ES-355 was originally introduced in 1958. With a thin, semi-hollow body, this instrument became the prized possession of many guitarists for its playability and clean sound. It was manufactured until 1984, and returned to the scene in 2018. Clark has had two custom models with Gibson and Epiphone before.

    Although this guitar is primarily a treasure for guitarists who love Gary Clark Jr., the Austin-based musician was paying tribute to an icon of his own, according to a blog post by Gibson announcing the new model. B.B. King, another regular in Austin's music scene, also played an ES-355.

    “When I was a child, I had a poster on my wall of B.B. King playing his signature Lucille,” Clark told Gibson TV. “As a kid I always wanted one of those guitars.

    Clark's version is limited to only 100 units, and buyers will have to part with $7,999 to take it home.

    Gibson Custom Gary Clark Jr.\u200b ES-355 Take a closer look at the aged nickel finish on the pickups that give the brand-new guitar a vintage feel.gibson.com

    This guitar's body is made of maple and poplar, with a 50s-style mahogany neck, an ebony fretboard, and a multi-ply binding. The most striking design feature, of course, is the Cobra Burst, giving the instrument a silvery finish that really brings out the chatoyancy — the rippling sheen — in the maple.

    For hardware, two unpotted Custombuckers cancel feedback for "warm, articulate tones." Aged nickel complements the Cobra Burst with a touch of amber on the switch. Like other custom ES-355s, this one features a Bigsby B7 Vibrato tailpiece. To wrap it all up, the included hardshell case is marked with Clark's monogram.

    The Gibson Custom Gary Clark Jr. ES‐355 can be purchased from authorized Gibson Custom dealers, Gibson Garage locations, and Gibson.com.

    The Pussycat Dolls dance into Houston on 20th anniversary tour

    The Pussycat Dolls will perform at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on August 1, 2026.

    Pop supergroup The Pussycat Dolls will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, PCD, on a world tour that will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, July 31.

    The PCD Forever tour will start in Palm Desert, California on June 5, traveling to 33 cities in the U.S. and Canada over the course of two months before heading to the U.K. and Europe in September and October.

    In addition to Houston, the group will perform in Dallas on August 1. The two Texas stops are scheduled to be the final two dates on the North American leg of the tour.

    Lil’ Kim and Mya will join as special guests on all North American dates.

    The Pussycat Dolls, originally comprised of Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt, started off as a neo-burlesque troupe in 1995 before transitioning into music in the early 2000s.

    They only released two albums — PCD in 2005 and Doll Domination in 2008 — before disbanding following the 2009 Doll Domination tour.

    Various attempts were made at reforming the group or reuniting the original lineup over the years, including a planned 2020 tour that was canceled due to COVID.

    This tour will feature three original members — Scherzinger, Wyatt, and Roberts — performing their biggest hits, as well as the new "Club Song," the group's first new song since 2019's "React."

    Scherzinger has become the biggest star among the group's members, serving as a judge on multiple reality competitions and starring on Broadway, where she won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

    Ticket sales for the tour will begin with the Pussycat Dolls Artist Presale on Wednesday, March 18 at 10 am. Fans can register for the presale at signup.ticketmaster.com/thepussycatdolls, with all registrations due by Monday, March 16 at 10 pm Central.

    No codes are needed — access is tied to each individual Ticketmaster account, and anyone who signs up can join the sale.

    Additional presales, including one for Citi cardmembers, will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday, March 20 at 10 am local time at livenation.com.
