Electric blues guitarist Joe Louis Walker returns to Israel to take the stage in the Galilee and Tel Aviv.
The 66-year-old native of San Francisco has emerged over the last 25 years as one of the preeminent bluesman of his generation, but one who isn’t afraid to mix things up with generous dollops of gospel, r&b and rock ‘n’ roll.
In 2013, Walker was inducted into The Blues Hall Of Fame. At his shows, Walker will be performing both acoustically and electrically, accompanied by local barnburners The Blues Rebels.
February 26, 10 p.m., Hemdat Yamim; February 27, 9 p.m., Shablul Jazz Club, Tel Aviv Port. For tickets: www.shabluljazz.com.
