Known for her big voice, Joanne Shaw Taylor is one of the UK’s stars of blues rock and has announced a March 2019 tour in support of her new studio album Reckless Heart.
Boasting 11 new compositions, the album was produced by Al Sutton (Greta Van Fleet/Kid Rock) and recorded over the summer at Rust Belt Studios in Michigan.
As a guitarist, Joanne mixes many different genres into her blues-based music, including borrowing the best attributes from rock, funk, soul and pop as sources of inspiration in her writing and playing. Though she has enough chops to keep up with the best in the business, she tends to rely more on groove and emotion to draw in her audience, holding their attention until the last notes of the song fade away. On top of this, she possesses a sultry voice that only accentuates her playing and adds another level of musicianship to her artistic palette.
