British blues guitarist and singer-songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor is gearing up for her Autumn UK tour.

Joanne stops of at the St. Ives Guildhall on Wednesday September 23, where she will be performing songs from her most recent critically acclaimed album The Dirty Truth, as well as songs from her previous three albums.

Taylor grew up around Birmingham, and was inspired in her early teens to play the blues after hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins and Jimi Hendrix. Dave Stewart heard Taylor play and in 2002 invited her to join his supergroup, D.U.P. on tour in Europe.

Joanne guitar playing was discovered by Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart when she was 16 years old, and has played guitar for Annie Lennox at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee on June 4, 2012.
