The set captures fiery performances from the event featuring Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr, Sheryl Crow, H.E.R., John Mayer, Santana & others
Chronicling a landmark moment for blues guitar and music in the 21st century, Eric Clapton will release the new live album and concert film Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2023 on November 29th in various configurations, including 4 CD/2 Blu-ray, 6 LP vinyl, 2 DVD, and digital in streaming and Dolby Atmos.
Last year, Clapton hosted and curated the seventh installment of his Crossroads Guitar Festival on September 23rd and 24th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. It notably marked the event’s return after a four-year break, selling out the iconic arena on both days. Once again, Clapton carefully assembled a powerhouse cohort of influential guitarists representing various eras and styles. The impressive lineup boasted Joe Bonamassa, Clapton, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Eric Gales, H.E.R., Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Los Lobos, John Mayer, The Marcus King Band, Roger McGuinn, John McLaughlin, Santana, The Wallflowers, and many more. Not to forget, Bill Murray served as the evening’s “Master of Ceremonies.”
Coming together, the set rotated between blues staples, American Songbook classics, and generational rock ‘n’ roll anthems shocked to life by this elite six-string consortium.
The initial Pay-Per-View broadcast beamed out the performance to fans everywhere. Now, they can revisit the show on the 2 DVD or 2 Blu-ray set.
Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival continues a legacy of its own, beginning with the first iteration in New York in 1999 and carried through Dallas, TX in 2004, Bridgewater, IL in 2007 and 2010, New York in 2013, and Dallas, TX in 2019. As always, all profits benefited The Crossroads Centre Antigua, a treatment and education facility for chemically dependent persons founded by Clapton.
The Festival has always served as a discovery point and launchpad for artists. Once again, it gathered the past, present and future of guitar music onto one stage for unparalleled musical events.
