#WALTER TROUT FULL#
T The West Theatre's COVD-19 Policy for Concerts: All concerts and special events at The West Theatre will still require either proof of a full course of COVID-19 vaccination, or proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken in the prior 72 hours. Tickets are $34 and $39 depending on seating. There’s no autopilot emanating from Walter Trout, but a true a sense of growing momentum, elements of surprise, and repertoire that continues to be more compelling with each new creation. While many would slow down as they approach their 70th birthday, Trout continues to deliver inspired recordings, performances, and a voice that articulates relevant ideology and insights in to The World that inspires his deep perspective. When Trout walked away from the Bluesbreakers, he embarked on a solo career that has yielded a catalogue that has established a deep legacy in the world of Blues, Americana, and the realm of revered singer-songwriters. From 1973, when he left his New Jersey home headed to Los Angeles, he has followed a road that afforded him an opportunity to just play, sharing the stage as a sideman with Jesse Ed Davis, Big Mama Thornton, John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson, Joe Tex, and of course the great John Mayall (following a three year tenure in Canned Heat). There are musical fireworks, critical acclaim and fists-aloft triumph, offset by wilderness years, brushes with the jaws of narcotic oblivion, and the survival of an organ transplant few come back from. Trout's history is equal parts thriller, romance, suspense and horror. He’s set to perform live at The West Theatre on July 28th, 2022.
#WALTER TROUT MAC#
“And it would have been #1,” the bluesman points out, “if Peter Green hadn’t decided to die a week before it came out and the old Fleetwood Mac went back to the top of the charts.Walter Trout has been nothing short of prolific over the course of his seven decades on this Earth. The last time we saw Trout stepping out, he was on the road in support of 2020’s Ordinary Madness: a universally acclaimed album that debuted at #2 on the Billboard Blues Chart. But my life has been one hell of a ride, and when I listened back, I realised there were a lot of songs about dealing with the past.”
“I think I still have something new to say about the world, and that’s important to me. “This album is a snapshot of how I was feeling through this pandemic,” he says. And yet, when the veteran songwriter reached for guitar and notepad, he found himself walking once again amongst the good, bad and ugly scenes of his extraordinary backstory.
No doubt, Ride has a charging momentum and a modern energy, with Trout broadening his musical palette and taking the pulse of an era reeling from both pandemic and politicos. Even now, aged 70, Trout was still writing fresh chapters of his life story. A move from California to Denmark with his beloved family. There was a new record deal with Mascot/Provogue. As he embarked on his 30th solo album, ‘Ride,’ the iconic US blues-rock guitarist found himself eyeing the horizon and the green shoots of his triumphant late career. Walter Trout knows this better than anyone. However fast or far a man travels, he can never truly outrun his past. Release: 2022 Release date: August 19, 2022
