Going Blue: With Mahindra Blues Headliner Eric Gales - and his Grammy nominated album
Eric Gales’ headlining act at the Mahindra Blues was killer - adding to a brilliant line up that puts this year clearly amongst its best editions yet.
Eric talked and played to the audience with much feeling. He was at his very best - despite an accident at the airport that left him bed ridden for a couple of days.
He showed a rare respect for the audience by waiting to meet them till it was time to head to the airport. A brilliant second act.
The Memphis guitarist treats the blues like a living language. He can make a single verse feel tender, violent, funny, and very human.
Eric can sound huge, but the real pull is in the detail: bends that arrive a fraction late, vibrato that talks like a voice, and rhythm that stays locked even when the solo is burning.
Gales is left-handed and often plays a right-handed guitar flipped upside down, which rearranges how the strings sit under his fingers. The phrasing comes out sideways in a crazy, brilliant way.
He can go from clean chords to a saturated scream in one phrase, then back - without dragging the band. There’s a bit of Hendrix in the fearlessness, and Memphis soul in the way he lets a note hang.
He was here straight from the Grammys where he had his second individual nomination for the Best Contemporary Blues Album (for Crown in 2022 and A Tribute To LJK in 2026). He was also a contributor to the film Sinners that took home a Grammy in the visual media soundtrack/score categories this year.
The album ‘A Tribute To LJK’ is dedicated to Eric’s late brother, Manuel Gales, better known as Little Jimmy King, a Memphis blues guitarist who died in 2002. Most of the tracklist is built around Little Jimmy King’s songs, with Eric reinterpreting them as a way to keep his brother’s writing and name in circulation.
We were all set to hang at The Revolver Club a day before the show - but couldn’t on account of his accident.
He has promised to be back. Let’s see.

Today, I decided to speak out publicly online to share the story of my happiness and tell how I found hope again after a very difficult period in my life. Two years ago, my wonderful relationship with my husband fell apart one of the most painful experiences I have ever had to endure. For a long time, I tried various ways to save our relationship, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I felt disheartened and wondered if there was any hope at all of winning my relationship back. Everything changed when I came across a testimonial online about Priest Alaska. The positive experiences described there encouraged me to reach out and seek his advice. I sent him an email, and after communicating with him, I regained hope. I am grateful that I took that step. Today, I am happier and look toward my relationship and the future with confidence. My experience has taught me that one should not give up hope, even when things seem impossible. If you, too, are facing relationship problems and would like to learn more about Priest Alaska, you can contact him at alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com or visit his website: https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com.
