The blues! Timeless virtuoso guitar blues in all its sweltering variants! But then Joe Bonamassa is also the American wonder-child who, at 12 years of age, already played with none less than BB King!

Now barely thirty and has about 10 solo CDs to his name. Most recently with 'Live From Nowhere In Particular' of which HET NIEUWSBLAD noted: '3/4*...that Bonamassa can manage any style. He deftly switches from grainy power-blues to subtle Santana or eastern sounding Dereck Trucks... Bonamassa writes his own story. Everyone with a guitar hanging on the wall should hear this.'
Now there's his latest CD 'The Ballad Of John Henry'. Following on from juicy covers of Led Zep, Chris Whitley or Tom Waits, this time now with his very own 'nod to Rory Gallagher'.
But especially: just recently at the Peer Festival and DE MORGEN alone wrote extensively of it: '...the guitar licks were so exquisitely venomous... nimble-fingered and with a passion bordering on possession... epic monsters, whereby Pink Floydian psychedelica and raw bar-blues encountered each other in the middle... one minute he presents himself as a brilliant ambassador of Led Zeppelin, the next minute he reminds one of Cream, then finally goes exploring the Mississippi Delta based on the work of Robert Johnson... inimitable style... an overwhelming impression...'

Joe Bonamassa also effortlessly plays a North Sea Jazz festival or a full Royal Albert Hall. This time you can experience him in the AB between his concerts in Olympia Paris and Carré Amsterdam. Bonamassa! Classy Blues!
