Opening of B.B. King
The guitar virtuoso from New York began with the opening of B.B. King when Joe Bonamassa was only 12 years old. Since then, he has shared scenes with artists such as Eric Clapton, Stephen Still, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Buddy Guy, and Steve Winwood. Bonamassa has traveled the path from the position of children’s sensation to a world-class star and is still evolving.
The artist is an enthusiast of live performances, and his concerts are one of the essential branches of his activity.
His tours have been sold out in the most iconic concert venues around the world. Among which there were The Red Rocks Amphitheater at Morrison, The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, The Royal Albert Hall in London, the Vienna Opera, as well as the New York Beacon Theater.
