Joe Bonamassa Biography - Brilliant Blues Guitarist to Release New Album

Inspired by his music-loving father, this icon of the blues rock scene started playing guitar at just four years old, and was opening for legendary musician BB King to audiences of thousands by the time he turned 12. After a stint in the band Bloodline, who would only put out one eponymous album, he set out on his own in the industry, releasing debut record A New Day Yesterday in 2000. He quickly became popular for his innovative style, blending blues and '70s hard rock, whilst showcasing incredible technical ability. Between 2002 and 2007, he saw five albums claim a top ten spot in the Billboard Blues Chart, with three of those number ones, and Sloe Gin earned him his first major breakthrough in the UK.

Subsequent albums The Ballad of John Henry, Black Rock, Dust Bowl and Driving Towards the Daylight each charted higher than the other, and the years between would also see the guitarist fulfil one of his lifelong dreams - to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London alongside Eric Clapton. Award success came in 2013 after a collaboration with Beth Hart and record SeeSaw won the pair a Grammy Award nomination for Best Blues Album. The next year he released his first album of exclusively original songs, Different Shades of Blue, which was followed up with a second instalment, Blues of Desperation, in March 2016. The LP proved his growing talent as a songwriter as well as an instrumentalist and gave him yet another number one in the blues charts. Chart domination continued in in 2015 with two live albums, with another great record added to his discography in 2016. Grab Joe Bonamassa tickets on StubHub now to enjoy the new material live.
