British blues-rock star Joanne Shaw Taylor has announced a new run of U.S. headline dates for Spring 2026 including a stop at Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on April 10. The tour announcement comes on the heels of Joanne’s Black & Gold (Deluxe Edition), which added three new acoustic recordings to her most critically acclaimed album to date – including the title track “Black & Gold (Acoustic),” released earlier this month. A stripped-down, soul-baring version of her blues-gospel interpretation of Sam Sparro’s pop hit, the acoustic single showcases Joanne’s gift for emotional reinterpretation and raw storytelling.Produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Journey, Aerosmith), the original Black & Gold album blends blues, soul, Americana, and cinematic pop – and was widely praised as a career-defining moment.

“Black & Gold” was already a standout moment on the original album, praised for its emotional depth and musical transformation. The acoustic version peels away the layers, spotlighting Joanne’s expressive voice and delicate guitar work. With lyrics like “If you’re not really here, then I don’t wanna be either,” the track becomes a raw meditation on presence, purpose, and cosmic longing. Known for her fierce guitar work, smoky vocals, and emotionally charged performances, Joanne continues to captivate audiences worldwide with a live show that blends new material, fan favorites, and timeless blues.
