Walter Trout - New Album European Tour 2024

Trout is considered one of the best guitarists of all time and is often mentioned in the same breath as Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix. His music represents a successful synthesis between blues and rock.

Since 1968, Walter Trout has played with various bands and musicians, including the legendary blues musician John Lee Hooker from 1979 to 1980. From 1980 to 1984, Trout was a member of the band Canned Heat before joining John Mayall from 1984 to 1989. In 1989, he founded the Walter Trout Band, which was renamed Walter Trout & the Radicals in 1999.

Trout is rightly celebrated by the international press and is without doubt one of the greats of the blues. In a BBC radio poll he was voted sixth out of the top 20 guitarists of all time (a few more votes would have put him in the top 5, along with Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page).
