Joe Louis Walker
Born in San Francisco and now based in New York, he was part of the Bay Area scene in his early teens while playing guitar and singing the blues. In 1985 he formed and was fronting a new band he called The Bosstalkers. Joe Louis Walker is a walking encyclopedia of blues history. Both vocally and instrumentally, Joe Louis Walker is indeed a witness for the blues, and the creative, sometimes startling approach to America’s most significant music holds a bright lantern for others to follow.
