Big Joe Louis

Joining Big Joe this week is Dexter Shaw (vocals/guitar) & Francesca Shaw (double bass) – Live at The Mall Tavern. A stalwart of the British blues scene, Dexter Shaw is celebrated for his raw, no-nonsense guitar work and soulful vocals. With roots deep in Chicago and Delta traditions, he’s played alongside some of the greats and built a reputation as a torchbearer for authentic, stripped-back blues. On double bass, Francesca Shaw brings a rich, resonant groove that anchors the sound with warmth and swing. Together, the duo create a set that’s intimate yet powerful — earthy guitar, deep bass lines, and the timeless feel of true juke joint blues.
