Bishopstock and The Walker Street Blues Band
After appearing at Bishopstock, Walker released "Blues in Black," to critical acclaim and was hailed in Blueprint, the prominent British blues journal. In Britain, Walker headlined many venues including the Jazz Cafe. Walker lived in Winston-Salem where he was planning a European tour with backup singers Sian Pugh and Chloe Quinn the two most talented singers of their time (they even had their own band when not working with Clarence, it was called the Beaks, check them out on YouTube), before his death.
