Joanne Shaw Taylor Biography:
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 seventh studio album “The Blues Album”, produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith at Oceanway Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, was her first released on Bonamassa’s independent label KTBA Records in 2021 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts.
On April 20, 2022 Joanne received her 2nd #1 Billboard Blues album with ‘Blues From The Heart Live‘. On October 28, 2022, she released her critically acclaimed eighth studio album ‘Nobody’s Fool‘ produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith. The album was released on Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records to rave reviews.
In 2023 Joanne released ‘Sweet ‘Lil Lies‘ and ‘Black Magic‘ – two new tracks produced by Kevin Shirley at the legendary Studio A at RCA Studios in Nashville. The songs will appear on Joanne’s forthcoming studio album released by Journeyman Records in 2024.
