Walter Trout - Sign of the Times European Tour

On 23 October 2026, Walter Trout brings his guitars to the MeM in Rennes as part of the Sign of the Times European tour. An American guitarist and singer, he has forged a style rooted in electric blues rock, nourished by Chicago blues and the rock legacy of the 1960s. Having spent time in Los Angeles in the 1970s, he first made his mark as a sideman before joining Canned Heat and then John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers — stages that refined his playing and his vocal approach.

On stage, he unfolds a repertoire where long guitar passages, a solid groove and slower ballads intersect. Between compositions from his solo career — from Life in the Jungle to We’re All in This Together — tracks released in the 2010s and a few rearranged standards, the set draws from all phases of his career. Some songs occasionally touch on autobiographical themes, carried by a direct, no‑frills sound. Meet in Rennes for a blues‑rock concert the way he likes it, with the guitar front and center.
