Joanne Shaw Taylor was discovered by Dave Stewart of the
Eurythmics at the age of 16 who, having watched her play, immediately invited her on the road with his supergroup D.U.P. - a career in music was born and in the proceeding years, her incredible guitar playing saw her build an army of plaudits including Jimmy Cliff, Joe Bonamassa,
Stevie Wonder and
Annie Lennox.
Still only in her 30's, she has become one of the most sought-after guitarists in the world of rock. She released her first album on Ruf Records entitled "White Sugar" (2009), unleashing her distinct soulful voice on the world, and demonstrating a song writing prowess way beyond her years - the world of blues rock had a new star! Over the next few years, she released critically acclaimed albums including her sophomore album "Diamonds In The Dirt" (2010), "Almost Always Never" (2012) which featured the UK radio hit "Soul Station", plus her final album for Ruf Records - the live album "Songs From The Road" (2013).
In 2014 she released her fourth studio album "The Dirty Truth" on Axehouse Records that featured the singles "Mud, Honey" and "
Wicked Soul". In 2016,
Joanne followed up with the release of her fifth album "Wild" (Produced by
Kevin Shirley) which saw her perform songs "Dyin' To Know" and "
Summertime" on BBC Two Television's popular music show "Later With Jools Holland". Three years later, in 2019 she signed to Silvertone Records via Sony
Music and released her sixth studio album, "Reckless Heart".
Over the past two decades,
Joanne has proven herself as a prolific songwriter, releasing seven acclaimed albums under her belt, each increasingly more successful with her 2019 "Reckless Heart" breaking into the UK Top 20 Album Chart and cementing herself as one of the most important exports in British blues-rock.
Her highly anticipated seventh studio album "The Blues Album", produced by
Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith at Oceanway Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, was released on Bonamassa's independent record label KTBA Records on
September 24, 2021. The album topped the Billboard Official Blues Chart. The album was also voted #1 Most Played Album of 2021 by the British Blues Broadcaster's Association. The album received across-the-board rave reviews worldwide.
On June 10, 2022,
Joanne will release the live album "Blues From The
Heart Live" featuring guest performances from her friends Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Mike Farris and Joe Bonamassa.
