THIS IS JOANNE SHAW TAYLOR
Joanne Shaw Taylor, discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics at the age of 16, has carved out an impressive niche for herself in the world of blues-rock. After witnessing her remarkable guitar playing, Stewart immediately invited her to join his supergroup, D.U.P., setting the wheels in motion for a flourishing musical career. Her prodigious talent on the guitar earned her accolades from several industry giants, including Jimmy Cliff, Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Wonder, and Annie Lennox.”

Joanne Shaw Taylor has established herself as the UK’s number one star of the blues rock world. The girl with the big voice from the Black Country has toured extensively around the world, released critically acclaimed albums and gained a global fan base as well as having the honour of playing alongside some of her musical idols.

Black & Gold delves into the intricacies of human connection, resilience, and self-discovery, capturing the highs and lows of life with raw authenticity. The album balances deeply personal reflections with universal themes, exploring heartbreak, empowerment, and the bittersweet nature of change. Musically, it pushes the boundaries of blues-rock, blending Taylor’s soulful guitar work and powerhouse vocals with influences ranging from Americana to retro pop. With its rich emotional depth and dynamic soundscapes, Black & Gold is a compelling journey through the complexities of modern life, delivered with the fearless innovation that has become Joanne Shaw Taylor’s hallmark.

Joanne’s latest work has solidified her place as one of today’s most innovative voices in blues-rock. Praised by legends like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox, and bolstered by Kevin Shirley’s masterful production, Black & Gold is poised to be a career-defining release.

Joanne’s prolific creativity and constant evolution as an artist are a perfect fit for Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records, a label committed to empowering musicians to release music on their own terms. With a wealth of new material and the freedom to collaborate with top-tier producers like Kevin Shirley, Joanne continues to redefine what it means to be a blues-rock artist in today’s music industry. This partnership ensures her dynamic and innovative work reaches fans as it’s meant to be heard—without constraints, with every release building on her remarkable legacy.

Robert Jon & The Wreck
Reigning from Southern California, Robert Jon & The Wreck take the classic Southern rock sound and infuse it with a distinctly modern edge.

Brand-new album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes by Robert Jon & The Wreck.

Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, the ninth studio album from Robert Jon & The Wreck, released on August 22, 2025. The band consists of Robert Jon Burrison on vocals and guitar, Andrew Espantman on drums and vocals, Henry James on lead guitar and vocals, Warren Murrel on bass, and Jake Abernathie on keys and vocals. The album is a solidly respectable entry into the group’s discography, firmly in their tried-and-true southern rock sound.

If you can reinvent yourself anywhere, rock’n’roll is the art form in which to do it, and over the course of the 14 years they’ve been playing together, Robert Jon & The Wreck have earned the right to keep channelling the spirit of the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd et al. They’re also becoming more accomplished at doing so with every new release, as Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes demonstrates.
