Walter Trout

Description

BLUESROCK LEGEND Walter Trout is regarded in professional circles as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He has played with giants like John Lee Hooker or John Mayall and was a member of the legendary Canned Heat. As a solo artist, the blues rocker from Ocean City, New Jersey, has already released over 30 albums. In autumn 2026, Walter Trout will come to Z7 with his current album "Sign Of The Times" and songs from five decades of his career. On stage, Walter Trout, who celebrates his 75th birthday on March 6, feels at home. Every show by this full-blooded musician is a feast for the senses for blues and rock enthusiasts. Few artists play with as much fire, soul, and honesty as Walter Trout. For over five decades, this blues rock titan has put his heart into every note and processes the highs and lows of life in his unmistakable guitar sound and experience-shaped voice. In 2026, Walter will return to European stages to amaze us with his extraordinary skills. Each show is a celebration of survival, a defiant cry, and a soulful connection, united by the unbreakable spirit of the blues. From heartfelt ballads to exhilarating rock anthems – Trout's live shows are raw, emotional journeys that overwhelm the audience. Accompanied by a world-class band, in which his son Jon has been virtuously playing the guitar strings for several years. The father-son duels have now become one of the highlights of every Trout show. In 2025, the tireless artist released his last album "Sign Of The Times". Great artists feel the pulse of the times. In his half-century as a social observer and ruthlessly honest songwriter, Walter Trout has never dictated to his fans what to think, feel, politically support, or scribble on their protest posters. But in a time when the whole world is bursting at the seams on the front lines of modern life, the new album is a cry and the valve we all desperately need. "I wanted to express the anger and fear in the world," says the musician. "For me, writing these songs was therapy. They are not only about what is happening out there but also about how it influences us in our minds. 'Sign Of The Times' was simply the obvious title." With the new songs, Walter Trout will come to Pratteln once again in November. Whether you've known him since the Bluesbreakers days or have just discovered him – here you have the chance to experience a true icon in their element. Unadulterated and without fuss. With real music, real stories, and pure energy. Participants: Walter Trout
