Chronicling a landmark moment for blues guitar and music in the 21 st century, Eric Clapton will release the new live album and concert film "Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023" on November 29th, 2024.
Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the 7th installment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 23rd and 24th at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It notably marked the event’s return after a 4 year break, selling out the iconic arena on both days.
Once again, Clapton carefully assembled a powerhouse cohort of influential guitarists representing various eras and styles. The impressive lineup boasted Joe Bonamassa, Clapton himself, Gary Clark Jr, Sheryl Crow, Jakob Dylan, Eric Gales, Kingfish Ingram, Los Lobos, John Mayer, Marcus King, Roger McGuinn, John McLaughlin, Carlos Santana, Stephen Stills and many more.
Not to forget, Bill Murray served as the evening’s 'Master Of Ceremonies'.
Coming together, the set rotated between blues staples, American Songbook classics, and generational rock‘n’roll anthems shocked to life by this elite 6 string consortium.
