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.

About Robert Jon & 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.
