Joe Bonamassa is a guitarist that needs little introduction. A genuine guitar hero, Joe has secured his name in the succession of great artists that belong to the blues lineage. Picking up the guitar at the age of 4, it didn’t take long for him to begin attracting attention. He was taken under the wing of legendary tele-master, Danny Gatton, and by the time he was 12 he was opening shows for BB King. His first studio album, A New Day Yesterday, was released in 2000 and since then the New York native has released 15 studio albums and 18 live releases. Joe’s strong work ethic is undeniable, and along with his prolific production of albums he can also accurately claim to be on the road almost constantly, playing over 250 shows per year.
