Among the best known blues guitarists - suffice it to mention John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers - and main guitar of the legendary Canned Heat, Walter Trout will soon arrive in Italy for two stages presentation of his latest work Broken: Friday 29 November 2024 at CrossRoads Live Club in Rome e Saturday 30 November in the Auditorium Scuole Primarie di Chiari (BS). I tickets for the two shows will be available on Vivaticket (Rome), Ticketone e Ticketmaster (Chiari) from 10 a.m. of tomorrow, Friday 3 May.
"I've always tried to write positive songs, but this album really isn't," the 72-year-old reflects on the tracklist of original songs that manages to express both anger and calm at the same time. 'I always cling to hope. I think that's why I wrote this album'. As fraught as his path has been, hope and resilience have always lit the bluesman's way over the past half-century. The incredible story of Trout is well known: the traumatic childhood in Ocean City, New Jersey; the courageous move to the West Coast with the first chaotic shifts as a sideman of John Lee Hooker e Big Mama Thorntonheavy addictions that never stopped the boogie when he was with the Canned Heat in the early 1990s. Some identify militancy in the legendary Bluesbreakers by John Mayall as the culmination of the career of Troutbut for most fans, the heart of his work is the solo career since 1989 is the main event: the constant search for a greater truth, always moving forward without ever backing down. It is an unparalleled creative vein, underlined by the guitarist's multiple triumphs at ceremonies, including the Blues Music Awards, i SENA European Guitar Awards, i British Blues Awards and the Blues Blast Music Awards.
