Joe Bonamassa

Why see Joe Bonamassa?

Witness The Master, Bonamassa

Joe Bonamassa is the guitarist's guitarist. A master of the blues, Bonamassa easily ranks alongside the more well known Clapton or Jeff Beck. Such was his prodigious talent that he supported B.B. King at the tender of age of twelve in 1989, and was christened by King as "one of a kind." Since then, he's played with anyone who is anyone and released a formidable catalog of studio albums.

Bonamassa is one of those performers who seems to live on the road this year is no different. An opportunity to witness a master at the very top of his game is one not to be missed!

Bonamassa in Fine Form

Drove in from Cleveland to see the Spring Tour show in Toledo after driving from Cleveland to Youngstown to see the Fall version. Never disappointed. Subtle differences between the two shows but once again I found myself mesmerized by both the loud and the soft stuff as well. Was amazed at the quiet in the theater as Joe came to the front of the stage and methodically picked some barely audible (by design) high notes. Remarkable talent backed by a truly remarkable band. And I came within four feet of meeting Jade Macrae. She was in the lobby before the show with some patrons and I did a doubletake. Too shy to try and greet her (just like High School) (geez) but it was cool to see her up close. Great voice and her solo during the show was awesome. Only wonder why the crowd was so senior. Of course, I am too. But Joe's music should appeal to a greater cross-section of age groups. I took my thirty year old heavy metal guitarist son with me and he truly appreciated not only the music but the level of skill that Joe is blessed with. I'm a relatively recent fan but I'll listen as long as he plays - and I can hear. ... Read more

More vocals

While Joe is a truly gifted guitarist, he underutilizes his equally gifted voice. The guitar riffs seemed to run togather and after a while sounded alike. More vocals, less instrumentals, please ... Read more

Blew My Mind!

First time to see Joe Bonamassa and I tell you, I was not disappointed in the least. It was good for my soul to watch and listen to him play that guitar. It's like they have a close and personal relationship that cannot be broken. I sat in the 3rd row, center which could not have been better. Let's talk about those backup ladies, wow! The drummer was awesome and the man on the organ/piano, I got a kick out of watching him play and he was having such a good time, not to mention the base guitars. The whole band was so tight. It was well worth the money I paid. The Smart Financial Centre is the only place to go see a concert. No seat is bad and the sound system is great. The only thing I can say negative about it, my one cocktail was $33.00! ... Read more
