Joe Bonamassa played his first guitar at
the age of four and stepped up to a full-scale model by seven,
mastering many of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s signature licks. At ten he was
playing regularly around the state of New York, garnering the attention
of blues legend B.B. King. Two years later he was opening up for King,
and eventually stars like Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Stephen Stillls, Joe
Cocker, Greg Allman and George Thorogood. Bonamassa has gone on to
singlehandedly transform blues rock with his own unique fusion of both
old and new ideas and distinct interpretation of blues.
