Joe Bonamassa, an undisputed living guitar legend, admired by players from all genres and generations, is a rare gem among the backdrop of countless skilled guitar players out there today. Joe started playing when the was just four years old and his career started at the tender age of 12, opening for Blues legend BB King. As a teenager he performed relentlessly on the New York scene, gaining experience and recognition as one of the hottest young guitar players out there. He regularly sat in with musicians three times his age. By the time he reached his early 20s, in 2000 Joe released his first album and from there he’s gone from strength to strength.
