Joanne Shaw Taylor has announced UK shows for the winter.
The 14-date trek will kick off in Cardiff on November 22, before stops in Exeter, Reading, Hastings, Bury St. Edmunds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Milton Keynes, Portsmouth, Stroud, Ipswich, and High Wycombe. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on August 5.
The gigs will see the British blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter performing material from her 2021 studio LP, 'The Blues Album', which was produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith at Oceanway Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. She'll also play select cuts from her back catalogue. Commenting on the record, which comprises covers of 11 rare blues classics, she said:
"I'd known from the beginning of my recording career that one day I wanted to record an album of blues covers, I just wasn’t sure when the right time to do that would be. I’ve always found it far easier to write my own material than come up with creative ways to make other artists’ material my own."
Bonamassa added: "We wanted to make a tough vocal centric straight blues record that showcased Joanne’s amazing talent but in a slightly different light. Josh and I tested Joanne’s limits and pushed boundaries."
Taylor recently put out the live record and concert film 'Blues From The Heart Live', capturing her performance at The Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tennessee this January.
