GRAMMY� Award Nominated, Blues Hall of Famer, 6x-BMA Winner & 55x-BMA Nominated Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter JOE LOUIS WALKER is one of the living legends of Blues Music. In 2016, Walker was Nominated for a GRAMMY� Award for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" ('Everybody Wants A Piece'). Walker has been Nominated for "Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards a stunning 18 times, having won the award 3 times (1988, 1991, 2016); he has been Nominated for "Blues Guitar Player of the Year" 10 times; and he has been Nominated for "Contemporary Blues Album of the Year" an incredible 11 times! Walker's most recent critically acclaimed album, 'Weight of the World', was released February 2023 to rave reviews. "One listen to this incisive treatise and you'll agree with jazz great Herbie Hancock who calls Joe Louis Walker a national treasure. This just might be his best album ever - and that's saying something!" raves BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE.
"Powerful, soul-stirring...a legendary boundary-pushing icon of modern blues," says NPR MUSIC. "Walker's guitar playing is fine and fierce," states BILLBOARD. "It's a compelling album that displays a master at the height of his game. They say Roots musicians age like fine wine, which certainly rings true with Walker. 'Weight of the World' is a resounding statement and quite possibly the beginning of the most remarkable chapter of a storied career," claims BLUES ROCK REVIEW (Review of 'Weight of the World').
Joe Is a great entertainer and put on a good show. I enjoyed his range of tunes and stories. The only thing didn’t like was the bass, which had an off-putting sound that wasn’t pleasant. Was it the amp? Was it because my seats were way off to one side? It just seemed acoustically off. But otherwise enjoyed the venue and show.
Joe was the tip of the iceberg! The show was incredible!
From start to finish the music was phenominal. All four acts sounded great and showcased quite a lot of talent. The food and drinks were overpriced but the music made up for that
Great service, Jazz concerts line up top of line .. Need more Jazz/Blues
The whole show was awesome! The venue was great all of the bands rocked four hours of blues that never stopped,
Apparently Joe was under the weather with the flu. Kudos to him for not canceling I guess. Frankly, they wasted a lot of valuable time with two long instrumental jams that clearly a stall tactic. He played only one of his popular songs. It end on a high note with a Chuck Berry song jam that included the two guitarists from the opening act. Overall, worth the $15 I paid but still disappointed.
A great performance from Joe and his band. Fun concert.
The blues never sounded better. I felt right at home. His music drew me in and I couldn't help moving to the music. I loved the versatility of his backup group. When given the chance to solo each one was fabulous. My husband and I had a great time and can't wait to return to B.B. Kings.
Great old blues and R&B rhythms and vocals great performance enjoyed by all in my party and probably converted some unbelievers that they enjoy the blues every now and then GREAT SHOW I BROUGHT TWO CDs one for me and one for the new convert :)
Awesome stage presence. A quartet that knows how to lay a groove in the pocket.
