Nathan East Backs Eric Gales, Marcus King, and Joe Bonamassa on “Voodoo Child”
Eric Clapton’s 2026 Crossroads Guitar Festival featured some incredible collaborations, including this performance of Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” by Eric Gales, Marcus King, and Joe Bonamassa.
Recorded on September 26th at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the performance features Nathan East holding down the low end alongside drummer Sonny Emory and keyboardist Noah East.
The group kicked things off with the closing section of “Layla” before launching into the Hendrix classic. Gales handles the lead vocals, and all three guitarists get their chance to shine.
We previously featured East’s jazz fusion performance with John McLaughlin from the same festival. This time, he’s laying down the foundation for a fiery blues-rock guitar jam.
