Critically acclaimed blues rock guitarist Eric Gales will be at The Haymarket in nearby Basingstoke.

Over 30 years and 18 albums, Gales’ passion for the music and his boundless desire to keep it vital has never waned, even when his own light dimmed due to his substance struggles.

His hotly tipped new CD finds Eric opening up like never before, sharing his struggles, his hopes about a new era of sobriety and unbridled creativity, and his personal reflections on racism. Five years sober, creatively rejuvenated, and sagely insightful, the songs on Crown are delivered with clarity and feature Eric’s personal experiences and hope for positive change.

Eric Gales appears at The Haymarket with special guest Dom Martin on June 8.
