Support with USA’s Joe Bonamassa

 After nearly a month in Poland and England, Claude returned home to 2 majestic shows:  Perth Concert Hall and State Theatre at Sydney. Both shows were in support of award winning internationally reknowned Joe Bonamassa. Playing to nearly sold out concert halls, Claude wowed the audience and got them ready for the virtuosity of Joe Bonamassa

Extra special thanks to Peter Coates of Inside Edge Photography for up close and personal pics at State Theatre. His album of pics of Claude can be seen here on LiveGuide

Third album “I Love Hate You” is nearly completed! Recording started last year at Sun Studios in Memphis, USA (yep, that’s where Elvis recorded his first record) and after building a new Cigar Box guitar for the album, Claude has been completing the rest of the album in Blue Mountains Katoomba in between non-stop touring up and down the East Coast of Australia.

Release anticipated to be September this year.  National tour planned for Oct/Nov … join the email list to stay in touch.

Claude will be playing at Byron Bay Bluesfest this year, along with the likes of John Fogarty (Creedance Clearwater Revival), Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Crosby, Stills and Nash. To mark the occasion Claude is making available, for a limited time, a high quality free download of the new single “Blues Train” which is off his forthcoming album … just click on the down arrow on the Soundcloud widget to the right.
