Walter Trout brings five decades of blues-rock experience to The Glasshouse in Gateshead on Thursday 8 October 2026, with Laura Evans joining him for the Sage Two date. The American guitarist’s live reputation has been built on raw playing, direct storytelling and a catalogue that moves between hard-edged rock and more reflective blues.

Trout’s career stretches back through the Bluesbreakers and decades of solo work, giving the current tour a depth that goes well beyond a greatest-hits set. The songs are rooted in experience, but the guitar remains the main point of contact, moving from restrained passages into the kind of full-volume playing that has defined his shows for years.

Sage Two’s club layout should make the show feel particularly immediate because the room can keep the audience close without flattening the dynamics of a full blues-rock band. That matters for Trout, whose performances tend to rely on changes in intensity rather than simply staying loud from start to finish.

Support comes from country-blues singer Laura Evans, who previously toured with Trout and released Out of the Dark in 2025. Her acoustic-duo set should provide a contrasting opening before the headline band pushes the night into a heavier gear.
