After Clapton and Jack Bruce left the band to form Cream, a succession of great musicians defined their artistic roots under John’s leadership, and he became as well known for discovering new talent as for his hard-hitting interpretations of the fierce Chicago-style blues he’d grown up listening to.
After a couple of years and a constant turnover of musicians with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, he met his soulmate in Eric Clapton, who had quit the Yardbirds in favor of playing the blues. This historic union culminated in the first hit album for the Bluesbreakers and resulted in worldwide legendary status.
John Mayall with his hottest band ever will be performing on a four Island tour in the Hawaii. Special Guest Shemekia Copeland, the daughter of the late Texas blues guitar legend Johnny Clyde Copeland, will be opening the show with her band.
