BLUES: John Mayall
By Frank De Blase on March 30, 2011
British blues giant John Mayall has been playing for more than 40 years. And just about anybody that counts in British blues has passed through the hallowed halls of his Bluesbreakers. Peter Green, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood got their feet wet with Mayall before forming Fleetwood Mac; Mick Taylor went on to join The Rolling Stones; Andy Fraser broke free to form Free; and before Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce went psychedelically heavy with Cream, they too were Bluesbreakers. At age 74, Mayall still tours 120 dates a year, playing the beautiful blues, and breaking in the next big guitar hero.
John Mayall plays Sunday, April 3 at 8 p.m. at German House Theatre, 315 Gregory St. $30-$35. 857-8385
