A Tribute to Joe Louis Walker
Experience world-class blues, dinner, and drinks — all in one intimate setting.
Joe Louis Walker was a Blues Hall of Fame legend who traded verses with B.B. King on the Grammy winning Blues Summit, roomed for years with Mike Bloomfield, and shared stages with John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, and Charlie Musselwhite before his passing in 2025. Tonight that fire lives on through Paul Steward, the Santa Rosa guitarist and soul singer who counts Walker among the players he learned from note for note. A Native American Music Award winner and West Coast Blues Hall of Fame honoree who fronted Twice As Good for more than twenty years, Steward channels his Elem Pomo roots and a lifetime of Bay Area stages into Walker's catalog, played the only way it should be, loud, live, and full of soul. Two shows only.
