It's hard to convey how much respect Guy Clark has in the world of folk, country, alt-country and Americana.

He has been a major influence on artists like Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris and Nanci Griffith.  This Texas singer-songwriter is held in the same esteem as fellow songwriters John Prine and Jerry Jeff Walker.

And now Clark is coming to the Bing Crosby Theater, Aug. 3, 8 p.m. He'll be accompanied by longtime sideman Verlon Thompson and a guest act to be announced.

Tickets wil be $27 and $37, reserved, and $52, Golden Circle, on sale June 13 at 10 a.m. through TicketsWest.
