Joanne Shaw Taylor at KiMo Theatre

Joanne Shaw Taylor is a British blues-rock guitarist who was discovered by Dave Stewart at age sixteen and has spent the decades since earning a reputation as one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary blues. The KiMo is a seated, ornate 1927 Pueblo Deco theater, which means this one will feel more like a concert hall night than a bar show, with good acoustics and sightlines that actually reward the kind of playing she does. Bywater Call opens, and they are worth arriving early for.
