Joanne Shaw Taylor has established herself as the UK's number one star of the blues-rock world. The girl with the big voice from the Black Country has toured extensively around the world, released critically acclaimed albums and gained a global fan base as well as having the honor of playing alongside some of her musical idols.
Discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics when she was only 16 years old and invited to tour the world, Taylor has since become one of the most sought-after guitarists in the industry, with an army of plaudits that includes Jimmy Cliff, Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox, and more. Still only in her 30s, she's proven herself as a prolific songwriter, releasing a series of #1 selling Billboard blues albums that's cemented her as one of the most important exports in British blues-rock. "Taylor has navigated the journey from rough diamond to global star," wrote ERB Magazine. "In a male-dominated guitar world, she truly holds her own."
Featuring guests appearances from Joe Bonamassa, Dave Stewart, Tina Guo, and Carmen Vandenburg, Taylor's latest studio album 'Nobody's Fool' was declared her "landmark album" and "best release to-date" by outlets like Classic Rock, Guitarist Magazine, and Blues Matters, earning comparisons to Susan Tedeschi and Bonnie Raitt. "She's one of the elite few blues artists sufficiently adventurous to produce music that appeals to a wide audience without compromising her roots," reported Blues In Brian, who called the album "a uniquely joyful collection." It's the latest in a series of chart-topping releases, which includes 2021's 'The Blues Album' and 2022's 'Blues From The Heart Live.'

Joanne's debut album White Sugar first opened the door and her career has since gone stratospheric, with her breaking the notoriously hard-to-crack US market. She beat the stereotypes of her age and gender, gaining acclaim from critics and peers alike. Subsequent albums; Diamonds in the Dirt, Almost Always Never and Songs From The Road followed and Joanne's fan base rose globally.
In 2014 Joanne reunited with her White Sugar album producer, Jim Gaines, and recorded her new studio album in Memphis. That album entitled The Dirty Truth was a return to Joanne's original sound that mixes rock riffs with blues influences. The album was released in the UK in September 2014 on Joanne's own independent boutique label, Axehouse Records to critical acclaim across the world and has already become her biggest selling album to date. Joanne is a bona fide star with famous fans across the guitar world including Joe Bonamassa (who described her as a Superstar in waiting), Tedeschi Trucks, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Wilko Johnson, Glenn Hughes and John Mayall to name a few.
Following international recognition in 2016 including performances on Later... With Jools Holland, BBC's Glastonbury coverage and outstanding reviews for her latest album, Wild, Joanne tours with a formidable force starting 2017 with a sell out UK and European tour, check out tour dates and catch one of the amazing live shows.
