Joanne Shaw Taylor has spent the spring writing and recording her fifth studio album Wild in Nashville which is due for release on September 30.
To coincide with this, she has announced an autumn UK tour which comes to The Live Rooms in Chester on Friday, October 21.
Recorded at Grand Victor Sound Studios, Wild has been produced by Kevin Shirley (Joe Bonamassa, Aerosmith, Journey, Iron Maiden) and features members of Joe Bonamassa’s band who Joanne met while performing with him.
British blues star Joanne said: “Recording at Grand Victor was incredibly inspiring. It is quite the legendary studio. Dolly Parton cut Jolene and I Will Always Love You here. And Chet Atkins worked here. Basically, if there was a hit record out of Nashville, it was made here. I am very proud of this album, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Not one to sit around for long, Joanne is currently on her mammoth US tour and will soon be performing over there as special guest to Glenn Hughes.
She returns to the UK for a few summer dates including Glastonbury and The Isle of Wight Festivals and then as special guest to Joe Bonamassa on the A Salute to the British Blues Explosion dates before taking on her own headlining tour from October 14.
