Eric Gales | Live at North Sea Jazz 2022

The great blues gitarist Eric Gales is playing with his band, but for the encore he also invites Trombone Shorty, Cory Henry and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. We see the songs 'You Don't Know The Blues', 'The Storm' and 'Catfish Blues' live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2022 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Eric Gales can count legends like Carlos Santana, Dave Navarro and Joe Bonamassa among his fans. The latter calls him “perhaps the best guitarist in the world.” Gales is pretty modest about his own skills: “As a guitar player, it’s been established that I can play a little bit, just a little bit.” Whoever has seen the lefthanded virtuoso rip his strings, knows that this is an incredible understatement. But not a false sense of modesty, because this guitar hero honestly feels he still has much to learn. As a challenge Gales keeps pushing his boundaries. He has worked with rap groups like Prophet Posse and Three 6 Mafia, from his hometown Memphis, and in 2019 he invited guest stars like Doyle Bramhall II and Beth Hart for his album The Bookends. In the same year, Gales won the Blues Music Award as Blues Rock Artist of the Year. His latest album, Crown, was produced by Joe Bonamassa and released recently.

[@systembooms69]

Eric, definitely a Bluesman! 👍

[@Gruntle]

Everyone talks about his guitar skills, but how about the vocals - bloody amazing! What a talented guy.

[@hotung5445]

I really like " the storm" especially when there's was a hint of thrill is gone within it, and the fast strumming where it almost sounds like latino music was really unique and i absolutely dig that. The lyrics was what hit me the most though. Not only about inequality but the fact when he said along the lines of he might not be able to go back home, it made me imagine if i was in such circumstances and I might not be back to see my momma again.... that scares me more than shitless too. So much love for you Eric!!!! I truly appreciate the dedication that you are pouring into your art!!!!

just on the last song, it is a little bit sad to see all the people having the chance to be dancing on stage with these incredible musicians and awesome music, and almost everybody with the phone in the hand and loosing the oportunity to be 100% in this one in a lifetime moment

[@chestermijnals6914]

I don't believe in a God, at least not as preached in most religions. But this day our ancestors and the Holy Spirit must have come down there.

[@markjohnson9485]

It would be nice to see white artist sing with the same ferver about equality between the races as black artists do. but, it's always the black artist wanting to be accepted when they contribute so much to the world....sad..🤔💯
