“A prolific songwriter…one of the most exciting blues-rock guitarists of the last decade,” states ROCK & BLUES MUSE. “One of the true superstars in the British blues scene, Joanne Shaw Taylor possesses a honeyed alto voice and guitar and songwriting skills to match…Possibly the best live recording you’ll hear this year…Buy a ticket to this show. You won’t regret it!” raves BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE (2022 Album Review of ‘Blues from the Heart: Live’).
Award-Winning Blues Rock Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter JOANNE SHAW TAYLOR was discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics at the age of 16. Stewart, having watched her play, immediately invited her on the road and a career in music was born. Shaw's incredible guitar playing has seen her build an army of plaudits including Jimmy Cliff, Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox. Still only in her 30's, she has become one of the most sought-after guitarists in the world of Blues Rock. Joanne's first album, 'White Sugar' (2009), unleashed her distinct soulful voice on the world, and demonstrated a songwriting prowess way beyond her years. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard Blues Chart. In 2010 & 2011, she won "Best Female Vocalist" at the British Blues Awards. Her 7th acclaimed studio album, 'The Blues Album' (2021), produced by Joe Bonamassa, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.
