R.I.P. John Mayall

3:00pm - 5:00pm

Dubbed “the Godfather of British Blues,” John Mayall was a nurturing figure to a slew of musicians at the start of their careers. Mayall formed the Bluesbreakers in the early 1960s after moving to London, and the band’s shifting lineup included a post-Yardbirds, pre-Cream Eric Clapton, who recorded with Mayall on the highly influential 1966 LP Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton. When Clapton left to start Cream, he was replaced by eventual Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green and Mick Taylor, who was ultimately snatched up by the Rolling Stones. Later contributors included Walter Trout and Coco Montoya. John Mayall passed away on July 22nd, 2024. This show will focus on the 1966 album, and a 2-disc 70th Birthday Concert recording featuring some of his famous former band members.
