The savior of the blues

Recommended Posts

We'll be seeing Joe Bonamassa in Christchurch in a couple weeks, which I'm really looking forward to.

 

Good concerts are far and few down here, so thought I'd take the chance on going to this one.  To be honest, I don't know much at all of his music, but some friends have shared some really impressive concert videos of his.

 

Has anyone here seen him before?

Holy ***^ what a show!

 

Shook the young mans hand and got a picture and signed CD after the show

 

this kid has the chops!

 

Glad you liked him. I emailed the local mid-size club that does Blues shows about Kingfish. Turns out he's routing through New England in early September, opening on the Vampire Weekend tour. But he is doing one-off club dates too, and he's got an opening that would line up with this clubs schedule. Booking guy responded that he never heard of him but would check it out further. Crossing fingers playing Yenta.

He played at Shea's a few months back.  I couldn't make it, but I managed to encourage a few of the youngsters in our office to go--they were absolutely blown away.

 

He is easily one of the best guitarists I've ever heard.

Rolling stones has called him the savior of the blues and a mix between B.B. king , Hendrix and Prince

Yeah, the more I learn about the guy, the more impressed I am.

 

The concert footage that I’ve watched is simply first rate. 

The funny thing is that his stage persona (sharp suit, sunglasses) and his “every day” persona couldn’t be more different.  He comes across as a totally down to earth, average (nerdy) guy.

 

Plus, he’s from upstate NY, which is pretty darn cool.

(You think he could bring me a box of Zweigle’s/Labatt’s when he comes down here?)

Hahahah yea he is a top notch performer 

 

he  has had a good amount of #1 albums on the blues charts. 

 

Unlike most blues musicians he doesn’t base his style on the American blues of B.B. king and Howlin wolf and muddy waters etc

 

he is very British blues influenced ... Eric Clapton, cream , jethro Tull 

 

but his skills are top notch
