British blues-rock star Joanne Shaw Taylor has announced a brand-new run of U.S. tour dates for Fall 2025, to follow the release of her upcoming album Black & Gold, out June 6th via Journeyman Records. Black & Gold is available for pre-order.  The new dates begin October 17th in Bonita Springs, FL and continue through November, bringing Joanne’s dynamic live show to cities across the East Coast and concluding in Wichita, KS.
 
Tickets went on sale to the general public TODAY at 10 am local time. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit joanneshawtaylor.com/tour.
 
The announcement comes on the heels of Joanne’s latest single “Summer Love,” a breezy, handclap-laced standout that captures the feel-good spirit of fleeting romance. “I specifically had it in my mind that I wanted to write a summer pop single for this album,” Joanne shares. “It’s just something I’ve always loved—driving around Michigan, now Tennessee in summer and having that one song you love to hear on the radio that years later triggers happy memories. I hope this could be that song for someone out there.”
 
“Summer Love” is the latest in a string of releases teasing Joanne’s forthcoming album Black & Gold, following the emotionally raw “Look What I’ve Become,” the high-octane “Hell Of A Good Time,” and the introspective “Grayer Shade of Blue” and “I Gotta Stop Letting You Let Me Down.” Each single showcases a different facet of Joanne’s evolving sound, bridging raw blues-rock roots with vibrant pop edges and cinematic textures.
 
Produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Journey, Aerosmith), Black & Gold marks Joanne’s most expansive work to date—featuring original songs alongside a shimmering cover of Sam Sparro’s “Black & Gold” and the stirring ballad “Who’s Gonna Love Me Now?” The album reflects her continued evolution as a songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist.
 
Joanne recently wrapped a successful U.S. Spring Tour and is now preparing for a packed summer of headline shows and festival appearances across North America and Europe, including sets at Pori Jazz Festival, Festival Des Guitares du Monde, Blues From The Top, and more. Known for her fiery musicianship and commanding stage presence, Joanne continues to captivate live audiences with a mix of fan favorites and new material from Black & Gold.
