Joanne Shaw Taylor... (Page 1 of 2)

I did Blueser, but just a little, I didn't want to take up too much of her time as everyone wanted to say hello and get things signed at the merch table. I actually got to talk to Joanne about "StringsforaCURE" and gave her not only a couple of business cards, but also some artist release forms. I explained that her donated strings would be made into jewelry, then sold with the proceeds going to women/families with breast cancer. She said she would definitely send in her strings. She also signed my Taylor acoustic guitar right under Joe's signature!

Joanne appeared to me to be very serious about her profession. She really has a beautiful smile, but other than when she was taking pictures, she seemed quite serious. Not sure if it was just an off night for her or, if that's just how she normally is as a person. Still, she was very polite and patient with everyone that approached her. Tallan Latz got to meet her too, but didn't get up to play with her. Tallan and his new band where on the same card and let me tell you, they killed the crowd just like Joanne and her band did! I'll have pictures and video of that too.

I just checked her tour calendar and the last show listed is in Central Cali. Hopes for a tour extension down south hereabouts. I'd love to see her show.

I've been waiting for these, Roy.  Unfortunately, the timing is such that I won't be able to view them all till later or tomorrow, as my kids and grandkids from Indy have just arrived for a three day visit - but yeah, I know how Joanne can smoke! 

 
Don't take it too personal Spider - she went from a personal page to a fan page similar to Joe (although he keeps his friend page - gotta love it) and Davy Knowles among others.

Joanne is fun to watch and of course listen to....i love Layla on the drums as well...........someone mentioned Joanne seeming a bit serious or something like that...............I have seen her 3 times now at Callahans in Detroit (she is there at least 3 times a year...as she lives in Detoit now)   anyway,,,i think she is a bit of a shy person..............i mean not on stage when she is playing......but in general.........i think thats just part of her personality............thats what i see anyway.

Spider, she did send out notes about this. Her personal Facebook was getting a handful along with the band page, so she tidied them up, keeping her personal page for personal stuff.

Great show last night and a very nice interview, actually it was more a very familiar chat (with Joe wine!) with her and band. Very, very  nice people!!
Full house and they blew the roof off!
I expected a bluesy show but it was ROCKING! She plays the guitar like it is the last day she can play: what a power!
