“Arguably the world’s biggest blues guitarist,” (Guitar World) Joe Bonamassa is hailed as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation. For almost forty years, Bonamassa has played with the greats—opening for the legendary B.B. King when Bonamassa was just 12 years old. Today, Bonamassa is a four-time Grammy-nominated artist with over fifty albums to date and more #1 album on the Billboard Blues Chart than anyone in history. He’s been featured in publications from Esquire to Parade to Rolling Stone and has played alongside such artists as Eric Clapton, Stephen Still, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Steve Winwood, and Buddy Guy, among many others.

B.B. King once predicted “Bonamassa’s just good. One of a kind. The kind that will be a legend before he’s 25”—and Joe Bonamassa has absolutely delivered. Backed by a stellar band, Bonamassa promises a high-energy evening of electrifying blues rock. From fiery fretwork to deeply expressive storytelling, this is a powerhouse performance that showcases why Bonamassa remains at the very forefront of modern blues.
