T-Bone Walker


The man who brought the electric guitar to the forefront of the blues, Aaron Thibeaux Walker was born in Texas in 1910, to a music-loving mother. 

Starting on banjo, aged 12, his big break came when he won an amateur talent show. The prize: a week with Cab Caloway's band.

An illustrious career followed, with Walker being crowned the "father of electric blues".
