Blues powerhouse Eric Gales will return to Australia this November for a full national tour and Canberra Blues Society is absolutely stoked to be included in this tour.
A tour that will deliver the utmost combination of fiery guitar mastery and soul-stirring emotion. Five years sober and creatively reborn, Gales is riding high on the momentum of his masterful album Crown, produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith.
The Memphis born blues virtuoso has spent over 30 years and 18 albums reinvigorating the genre with his guitar excellence and bold songwriting. A child prodigy at just 16 years old with The Eric Gales Band, Eric has been praised by his peers and guitar legends the world over ever since.
Often hailed as the second coming of Jimi Hendrix, the Grammy Nominated Eric Gales has redefined blues playing with his rock swagger, searing guitar solos, heartfelt lyrics and a stage presence that absolutely commands your attention. He is boldly vulnerable, uncompromisingly political, unflinchingly confident and has absolutely earned his status as a true guitar hero.
Gales' latest album 2021's Crown is a bold, deeply personal statement. Born from raw emotion and introspective reflection, the album channels his journey from addiction and hardship to triumph and purpose. Tracks reflect on his struggles with substance abuse, his path to sobriety, and the pressing social issues that have defined his world.
"When I recorded Crown, I poured my heart out," says Gales. "Every note, every word is part of my story. Now, I get to bring that energy to Australia and connect with my awesome fans in the most powerful way possible, live on stage."
Don't miss your chance to witness the fire and fury of one of the most electrifying guitarists on the planet when Eric Gales and his extraordinary band roar into Canberra this November.
