| Blues legend Joe Louis Walker plays next week at The Palms Joe Louis Walker, a blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, will celebrate the release of his new CD, "Hellfire, " with a performance Saturday, March 3, at The Palms Playhouse, 13 Main St. in Winters. Walker has been making music since 1986 and has toured worldwide. He has won four Blues Music Awards and has been nominated for 44 more, including a nomination for a 2012 BMA for contemporary blues male artist of the year. Walker also has recorded as a guest with some of the blues world's best-known artists, including appearances on Grammy-winning records by B.B. King and James Cotton. The New York Times raves, "Walker is 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." Walker's concert will begin at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 3, at The Palms. Tickets are $20, available at Armadillo Music in Davis, Watermelon Music in Woodland and Pacific Ace Hardware in Winters. Tickets also will be sold at the door, if available. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Jazz News :: home page |
