Black Country Blues: Joanne Shaw Taylor interview
Joanne Shaw Taylor is THE rising star on the British blues scene and her gigs are being widely regarded as the hottest ticket in town. A consummate guitarist, with a vocal style reminiscent of the great Janis Joplin, this is one show you do not want to miss.
She’s currently undertaking an extensive tour of Europe and the USA showcasing her latest album “Diamonds in the dirt”, and right now she is gigging up and down Britain, bringing her brand of rock-blues to her home country.
This week finds her in Bristol, where she will play at the Tunnels (Arches 31 and 32, Lower Station Approach Road, Bristol BS1 6QF – www.thetunnelsbristol.co.uk ). If you can get a ticket, it will be the best twelve and a half quid you’ve laid out in a long time. If you can’t, sell your body to someone in the queue – this is a must-not-miss event.
At twenty-five, she has the world at her feet and this time next year, the tickets won’t be easy to come by. Trust me.
