It always rocks to see women shredding on the guitar. And Joanne Shaw Taylor does just that. One of the most sought-after live acts on the modern blues circuit, Taylor infuses her performances with rock, pop, soul and blues-rock. With lots of guitar shredding. Discovered at the ripe old age of 16 by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, she continues to hone a unique sound. The native Brit has a beautiful, husky, sweet voice, and her guitar playing evokes the kind of playfulness and confidence often associated with Jerry Garcia, but poppier. Seeing her live is bound to be an electrifying experience, evident from the care put into her recorded music.
