WALTER TROUT - New Album European Tour 2025

Blues rock icon Walter Trout is going on a major European tour with a new studio album.

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

Walter Trout has played with various bands and musicians since 1968, for example with 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 in 1984-1989. In 1989 he founded the Walter Trout Band, which changed its name to 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 number 6 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).
