Renowned blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor has released her brand new single, “Hold Of My Heart”, available now on all major streaming platforms. A twangy, Americana-infused track featuring the exceptional talents of violinist Sav Madigan, “Hold Of My Heart” marks the first release from a slate of material Joanne is set to unveil over the next year, signalling an exciting new chapter.
As a Nashville resident, Joanne is embracing the local music culture and infusing it into her style of Blues-Rock. Following the release of her critically acclaimed album ‘Heavy Soul,’ Joanne, in partnership with Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records, plans to bypass traditional release strategies by delivering a steady stream of high-quality singles, ensuring that new music consistently reaches her fans.
In “Hold Of My Heart,” Joanne explores the vulnerable and exhilarating experience of confessing feelings to a close friend, capturing the emotional turmoil and bravery required to take that leap of faith in a relationship. “This song is about telling a good friend that you actually like them as more than a friend,” Joanne shares, “and realizing, if only for your own sake and the sake of honesty in a friendship to finally tell them.”
Sav Madigan, known for her multifaceted musicianship and soulful playing, contributes her violin prowess to this track. One-third of the all-female indie-folk-roots band, The Accidentals, Sav is an award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and session player with roots in Nashville, TN, and Traverse City, MI. She has worked with a diverse range of artists, including Lainey Wilson, Hannah Wicklund, and Peter Mulvey.
