| Joe Bonamassa - A Salute To The British Blues Explosion Joe Bonamassa's love of the British Blues is at the heart of his musical inspiration; and, for the first time, is pleased to announce five special concerts paying homage to the British blues rock guitarists that inspired him – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page - for UK fans in July 2016. This one-time only UK event will be billed as – Joe Bonamassa - A Salute To The British Blues Explosion. "If it wasn't for certain British musicians of the early 1960s, the Blues may well never have exploded into Rock music as we know it today, and indeed may have passed into history, " says Bonamassa. The dates will feature two special concerts performed at heritage castles at Hoghton and Newark, a headline show at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, plus indoor shows in Glasgow and Bristol. Bonamassa will play Preston Guild Hall, Lancashire (Saturday 2nd July), Glasgow Clyde Auditorium (Sunday 3rd July), Bristol Colston Hall (Tuesday 5th July), Greenwich London Music Time Festival (Thursday 7th July) and Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire (Friday 8th July). Blues rock guitarist and singer-songwriter, Joanne Shaw Taylor will be Joe's special guest at Preston Guild Hall, London Greenwich Music Time Festival and Newark Castle. Joanne Shaw Taylor has established herself as the UK's number one star in the blues rock world. The girl with the big voice from the Black Country has toured extensively around the world and released critically acclaimed albums, gaining a global fanbase and playing alongside her musical idols. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are some of the greatest guitarists of their time that influenced Joe Bonamassa's career. All three are Yardbirds alumni, and indeed actually all played together at one time in the same band. Jimmy Page went on to form Led Zeppelin, which became the ultimate electric Blues band and both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck became international superstars in their own right. Now, Blues superstar, Joe Bonamassa, will pay tribute to these legends of the British Blues, in a stunning live concert homage entitled JOE BONAMASSA IN CONCERT: A SALUTE TO THE BRITISH BLUES EXPLOSION. This is a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience not to be missed. write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
