Walter Trout

Blues great Walter Trout has just completed work on his 31st album. The yet to be titled album will be released in February but don’t expect to hear anything from it on his next Australian tour in January.

Bluesman Walter Trout will return to Australia in 2024 for a national tour.

American blues guitarist Walter Trout will play Bluesfest sideshows in in Newcastle, Sydney and Melbourne in April 2020.

Walter Trout’s medical traumas have been well publicized over the last few years – his liver failure and eventual transplant and his own musical diary of the darkest and lightest points of it all in his last album Battle Scars – one of the strongest and most emotive albums he has ever released.

Two years ago, it was unknown whether Walter Trout would be alive to record any more music much less tour.

‘He’s Back!!’ was the message from all the posters around the Forum and from the very start it was clear that, after two years of terrible illness, a liver transplant and a long recovery, he was indeed back and with a renewed fire in his belly as well.

Walter Trout received a liver transplant after nearly facing death in 2014. He now feels like a new man and has immense gratitude for his supporters, his donor and the medical community who gave him a second chance at life.
