Walter Trout brings blues-rock mastery to Clitheroe's The Grand

Following his performance at Colne’s Rhythm & Blues Festival, Walter Trout is set to head to the Ribble Valley for a performance at The Grand in Clitheroe.

Trout will headline The Grand on Friday, October 9th for an evening that promises to be a masterclass in blues-rock. The performance at The Grand will come as part of a 14-date UK tour that will see Trout perform tracks from his 21st studio album ‘Sign of the Times‘, which was released this month and became a UK Jazz & Blues No.1 and a Billboard Blues No.1 album in the United States.

Trout’s 14-date run will begin on Friday, October 2nd at The Opera House in Buxton before the 78-year-old’s run of shows takes him through Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Southport, Carlisle, Gateshead, Clitheroe, Holmfirth, Norwich, Wolverhampton, Gloucester, Frome, Southampton and culminates with a date at London’s Islington Assembly Hall on Sunday, October 18th.

For over five decades, the 78-year-old blues-rock artist has poured his soul into every note, channelling life’s highs and lows through that unmistakable guitar tone and a voice etched with experience.

Trout’s live shows are renowned for being raw, emotional journeys that leave audiences mesmerised. The 78-year-old is accompanied by a world-class band and his riffs are packed with a lifetime of stories, he doesn’t just perform—he connects. Whether you’ve watched Trout perform since the Bluesbreakers days or are looking to immerse yourself within his musical realm for the first time, the performance at The Grand marks an opportunity for fans to witness a true icon in his element.

For his performance at The Grand, Trout will be accompanied by Blackpool-born and London-based singer-songwriter Leoni Jane Kennedy, who is described as daring, empowering, and someone who remains close to the edge without going over.
