Blues fans everywhere ….Walter Trout is coming to Devon!!!
Written by Nigel Beck on 1st September 2010Yes it’s true. Walter Trout, the infamous American Blues guitarist is performing at the Exeter Phoenix on Sunday 24 October 2010. His recent new album “Common Ground” – his twentieth album to date – has received rave reviews and I am sure it will be a sell-out show and one you really can’t afford to miss.
In his early days Walter Trout played with Canned Heat and then John Mayall’s Blues Breakers. Trout, who hails from New Jersey, began his solo career in 1989. He was immediately embraced by European audiences and released his first album, “Life in the Jungle” that same year. Despite his prolific recording schedule, Trout’s first U.S. release was 1998′s critically heralded “Walter Trout”, which immediately established him as a staple of the American blues scene as well.
So what better excuse do you need to plan a trip to Devon – and why not make the most of it. Take a 3 night weekend break, arrive on the Friday at the Toorak Hotel in Torquay, part of TLH Leisure Resort, and on the Sunday a short drive over to Exeter to be entertained by the awesome guitar sounds of the Walter Trout Band. All serious blues fans will be there and you’ll probably see me down at the front as well, so you’ll be in good company – rock on!!!
