He’ll be joining Los Angeles-born Beth at the Winter Gardens’ theatre on Thursday, April 26 as part of a 14-date UK and Ireland tour.

Blues star Beth, who’s played with guitar greats such as Slash, Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa, discovered the power of music aged just four when she heard Beethoven’s Midnight Sonata on a TV advert.

“It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever heard, “ she said. “So in the middle of the night, I got up and played part of that song on the piano.

“My mother, father and all the other kids came out and they gave me so much love and attention, I knew right away this little ham had to have it.”

Inspiration comes from the likes of ‘fascintating’ Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, through to the power of Robert Plant and Chris Cornell.
