Joanne Shaw Taylor was discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics at age 16, quickly earning a spot touring with his supergroup, D.U.P., and launching a remarkable career. Celebrated for her extraordinary guitar playing, soulful vocals, and increasingly personal songwriting, Joanne has earned praise from artists including Jimmy Cliff, Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Wonder, and Annie Lennox.

 Since releasing her debut album White Sugar in 2009, Joanne has grown into one of contemporary blues-rock's leading artists. Her catalog includes Reckless Heart, which reached the UK Top 20 Album Chart; The Blues Album and Blues From The Heart Live, both No. 1 Billboard Blues Albums; and 2024's Heavy Soul, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

 Her 10th studio album, Black & Gold, followed in 2025, also debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Shirley, the acclaimed record expanded Joanne's sound beyond blues-rock with elements of Americana, indie rock, soul, and pop while further establishing her evolution as a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter.

 Joanne will release her new studio album, The Trouble With Love, on October 23, 2026 via Journeyman Records. Produced by Shirley, the album dives into the beautiful chaos of the human heart, exploring longing, heartbreak, resilience, acceptance, and redemption through a blend of blues, rock, soul, Americana, and pop. Recent singles including "The Trouble With Love" featuring Joe Bonamassa, "What Good Is My Love?" featuring Orianthi, "Hell Or High Water," "This Is Who I Am," and "Tired Of Being Right" offer an early look at one of Joanne's most personal and emotionally expansive projects yet.

 Alongside her prolific recording career, Joanne continues to tour extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally, bringing together her acclaimed guitar work, commanding vocals, and evolving songwriting in a powerful live show that has made her one of blues-rock's most compelling modern artists.
