Joe Strouzer
Joe Strouzer sings songs from his travels from Newcastle to New Orleans and a hell of a lot of places in between. His driving resonator guitar is coupled with true harmonica voodoo and biting songwriting of modern trouble, heartpains, moonlit trysts, drinking and devilment, peppered with a rich history of blues.
On harmonica Joe was picked as London’s best busker by Vice Magazine, has supported the late blues guitar legend Johnny Winter and performed all over the UK, Europe and USA including London’s Royal Festival Hall, Divan Du Monde in Paris, Made In America Festival in Los Angeles and Glastonbury Festival.
2015 saw the release of his studio debut, Bottle Broke, with 9th Ward Tape, a collection of old blues and traditional American songs following in summer 2016, recorded straight to tape in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 2020 during lockdown Joe Strouzer is releasing a series of self recorded EPs with the support of Arts Council England, May, June & July are out now.
