The Center for the Arts
Genre: Blues, Rock Joanne Shaw Taylor - Blues-Rock Guitar Phenomenon Discovered at 16 by Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart — who saw her play and immediately invited her to join his supergroup — Joanne Shaw Taylor has spent the decades since becoming one of the most electrifying guitarists in blues-rock. Praised by everyone from Joe Bonamassa to Stevie Wonder, she is the rare artist who earns that kind of reverence and fully delivers on it live. With back-to-back No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Blues Chart and a UK Top 20 album to her name, Taylor's reputation is built as much on the stage as the studio. Her performances are raw, soulful, and technically stunning — the kind that make audiences wonder where she's been all their lives. Don't miss one of Britain's most important blues exports, live at the Center for the Arts. About Robert John & the Wreck: Southern California's Robert Jon & The Wreck have taken the Southern rock tradition and made it undeniably their own. Since 2011, the five-piece has built a global following through relentless touring and a string of acclaimed albums — most recently Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile). Along the way they've shared stages with Joe Bonamassa, The Black Crowes, and Peter Frampton, and earned a reputation for live shows that are, simply put, impossible to ignore.
