Joe Bonamassa
THIS EVENT ENDED ON THE 30TH MARCH 2013
Nearby

American blues rock guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa plays four nights in different iconic London venues this March on the back of his 11th studio album, Driving Towards the Daylight, which peaked at #2 in the UK charts in spring 2012. Starting at the intimate Borderline and ending five days later at the magical Royal Albert Hall, the internationally renowned guitarist will also drop into the Shepherd's Bush Empire and Hammersmith Apollo on his whistle-stop tour of the capital. The 35-year-old from upstate New York has been playing the guitar since the age of four, opened for B.B. King at the age of 12 and at 14 formed a band with Miles Davis' son. That's quite some resume from "the new messiah for guitar music lovers" (The Sun) who has fast forged a reputation as "the pre-eminent blues-rock guitarist of his generation" (The Guardian).
