Bonamassa

Bonamassa refers to Joe Bonamassa, an American blues rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has been a prominent figure in modern blues since the late 1990s. Known for his technical skill, expressive tone, and prolific recording career, he has built a reputation through both studio albums and live performances. His work blends traditional blues with rock, soul, and vintage guitar influences.

Bonamassa began playing guitar as a child and released his first solo album, A New Day Yesterday, in 2000. He has since issued numerous studio and live records and developed a global touring profile. In 2010 he joined Black Country Communion, a blues-rock supergroup with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, and Derek Sherinian, expanding his collaboration with other high-profile musicians.

His discography includes extensive live material captured in concert settings, including productions at major venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Greek Theatre. He has received multiple Blues Music Award nominations and wins and is widely recognized as one of the leading blues-rock guitarists of his generation.
