Joe Louis Walker blues concert

Description

Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Joe Louis Walker, is a legendary, boundary-pushing icon of modern blues -- a leading light who has played his electric guitar with the likes of B.B. King, Jimmy Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, and Muddy Waters. He makes a special appearance in Lake County on Saturday, August 13, at 7:00 pm at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport. JLW is one of the greatest bluesmen of his generation. He is a four-time Blues Music Award winner, Blues Foundation Contemporary Male Artist of the year, and is nominated for Best Rock Blues Album of the Year for his latest release, “Everybody Wants a Piece.” The New York Times calls him “…a singer with a Cadillac of a voice. He delivers no-nonsense, gutsy blues. His guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisive, moaning with bluesy despair.” Rolling Stone simply calls him “ferocious.” For more information on JLW including videos and photos, go to www.joelouiswalker.com.
