Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Star Power

Hailed as “the Godfather of British blues,” John Mayall is almost more notable for the careers he’s helped mold than his own. Almost. Mayall was a key figure in the development of such legendary players as Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and Mick Taylor. But his own contribution to the canon of British blues with his band the Bluesbreakers is simply peerless. Still going strong after a 50-plus-year career, Mayall stops by the Tupelo Music Hall in White River Junction this Thursday, March 31.
