Joanna Connor's Ripping Blues Guitar Live at The Fallout Shelter

Joanna Connor is widely considered and well deserved to be the Queen of Blues Guitar. A career that spans more than three decades in the rough trenches of not only the 'blues' world, but also the testosterone overdosed music business, Connor has risen to become a world class musician, a solid bandleader and as a woman, a terrific role model to a contingent of rising young women in the blues. On this , her second trip to The Fallout Shelter, she is armed with a new collection of music that draws from many different directions but is always purely Joanna Connor. Her skill as a guitar player is at times jaw-dropping but her stage presence and ability to just flat out entertain is the conduit from which her guitar playing draws it's energy.

It’s been three years since the release of Connor’s 12th studio album, Six String Stories, but she’s planning to release a new album this summer. The album has been described as a mash-up of blues meets hip-hop with elements of jazz, soul and acoustic music.

“I’m very excited about it. I have the best band I’ve ever had in my life. They’re amazing. Every night now is a treat,” Connor said. “And I tapped into some local talent that aren’t as well known but I love.”

Connor performs three nights a week at Kingston Mines and works with up-and-comers through the Chicago Blues Camp at Roosevelt University. She said she tries to support young musicians the way Lonnie Brooks and Dion Payton embraced her in the ’80s.

“It’s how the music continues,” Connor said. “It’s now my turn to help others in their journey.”
