Walter Trout
Hardy. Hearty. Healing blues music.
Resilient blues-rock phenomenon Walter Trout rides a creatively formidable wave. He heads into 2024 with Broken an album that’s raucous, wild and poignant. It features appearances from powerhouse singer Beth Hart, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider and Harmonica virtuoso Will Wilde. It comes out on March 1 via Provogue / Mascot Label Group.
All of us are broken. But no one’s beyond repair- a philosophy that Walter Trout’s lived by during seven volatile decades at the heart of America’s blues-rock scene. Even now, with the world more fractured than ever – by politics, economics and social media – the fabled US bluesman’s latest album, chronicles the bitter schisms of modern life but refuses to succumb to them.
In Broken some of Trout’s most raw and bruised songs of his career lie. Still, hope leads the way with the notion that music can help us overcome brokenness – one note at a time.

Meet the artists
Walter Trout
Walter Trout’s unbelievable life story is well-known: the traumatic childhood in Ocean City, New Jersey; the bold move to the West Coast in ’74; the encouraging but chaotic sideman shifts with John Lee Hooker and Big Mama Thornton and the raging addictions that somehow never stopped the boogie when he was with Canned Heat in the early-’80s.
For the last half-century, however rocky his path, hope and resilience has always lit the way.
