As Joe Bonamassa's reputation as one of the world’s greatest guitar players grows, he is becoming one of the most charismatic blues‐rock stars and singer‐songwriters full of stylistic depth and emotional resonance.
A child prodigy, Bonamassa was opening shows for B.B. King by the age of 12 and went on to tour with venerable acts including Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman.Bonamassa began recording in the early ’90s with Bloodlines, a hard‐charging rock‐blues group. In 2000 his solo debut album, A New Day Yesterday, was produced by the legendary Tom Dowd; Bonamassa’s rendering of the title track, originally a Jethro Tull hit, was called, “a jaw‐dropping performance” by allmusic.com.
On top of touring, recording, and overseeing the independent label J&R Adventures Bonamassa is an avid DJ currently manning the airwaves on Planet Rock radio with a weekly hour‐long program airing throughout the U.K. For seven years, Bonamassa has also been the foremost ambassador for the Memphis based Blues Foundation’s Blues In The Schools program; visiting schools to promote the heritage of blues music to students nationwide.
