About Joe Bonamassa

Joe Bonamassa needs no introduction, his career is certainly unique. Joe is an American blues and blues rock guitarist, singer, composer and songwriter. At the age of four he learned to play the guitar from his father, who owned a music store. When he was twelve years old he was already playing with BB King, and at the age of 14 he was invited to provide musical accompaniment to a Fender event. After a band arrangement, he started a solo career that made him famous. His first album, A New Day Yesterday, was released in 2000. After a concert tour to promote the album, Joe and his fellow musicians went back into the studio in 2002 to record the next album, So It's Like That. The second album is more rock-oriented than his other works and reached number one on the Billboard blues charts. Over the next few years and albums, Joe and his band toured alongside BB King and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. In 2010, Joe Bonamassa joined forces with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian to form the band Black Country Communion, who have released five albums to date. Joe is not only a gifted guitarist, but also a passionate collector of guitars.
