After his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on April 4th, guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck has booked a ridiculously intimate, thirteen-date swing through the U.S., where he'll play clubs like Philly's Electric Factory and New York's Irving Plaza.
But we'll tell you what we're most excited about, is finally seeing Beck's young female bass-phenom Tal Wilkenfeld live and in-person.
Growing up in Australia, Wilkenfeld played guitar, but found her calling when she switched over to bass at age seventeen. She dropped out of high school, moved to New York, and started playing with session heavyweights (and Steely Dan vets) like guitarist Wayne Krantz and monster-drummer Keith Carlock.
Click here to check out Tal's website. Click below to watch her take a crazy solo on Beck's "Cause We Ended As Lovers" at the Crossroads Guitar Fest a couple years back.
She's an animal!!!

God willing I will be seeing Jeff Beck at the Park West Theatre in Chicago in April. The man is amazing. His guitar virtuosity, whammy bar mastery, eclectic tones and riffs and vintage live performances are magical and nonpareil. Off the stage he's a hot rod builder, a vegetarian, a landscaper and an animal lover in his Native England. He's arguably the greatest.

I really like Tal's first solo album Transformation, (everyone should buy it on itunes), and hopefully she'll release another solo work in the future. It's pretty cool to see such a young talent getting props from some of the legends in the game, as she was at Warren Haynes Christmas jam in Asheville this year too.
