Blues rock titan returns to the stage with new summer trek
This summer Joe Bonamassa is returning to the main stage for a string of concerts in the US! With dates already announced for California, Colorado, and Utah, he adds two more shows for Las Vegas, NV, and Cheyenne, WY. Fans have long awaited seeing their guitar hero perform live again, and now they will finally have the chance to reunite. Bonamassa, a man who before COVID-19, spent more days on the road than not every year, has been itching to get back to his busy international tour schedule. Thankfully, as the world continues to work towards a return to normalcy with new health guidelines and continued precautions against the COVID-19 virus, concerts are slowly but surely starting again. When Bonamassa hits the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this year, it will be an extra special show, as he’ll commemorate his sixth year performing there! Tickets to Bonamassa’s Summer 2021 tour are on sale now at Ticketmaster.
Bonamassa will be backed by a stellar band of legendary musicians including Late Night with David Letterman‘s Anton Fig on drums, Nashville recording legend Michael Rhodes on bass, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and member of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble Reese Wynans on piano/organ, Paulie Cerra on saxophone, Lee Thornburg on trumpet, along with soulful background singers to bring a whole new life to the show which will feature brand new songs alongside career-spanning favorites.
Bonamassa is one of today’s top live performers and his enthusiastic shows are one of the biggest parts of his career and a favorite for music lovers worldwide. Hailed internationally as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation and cited by Guitar World Magazine as “the world’s biggest blues guitarist,” Bonamassa has almost single-handedly redefined the blues-rock genre and brought it into the mainstream.
Last year when COVID-19 put the live touring industry on hold, Bonamassa did something unprecedented so he could still connect with fans – he put together a one-night-only show at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN to be livestreamed for fans everywhere. That night he united people across 44 countries worldwide for a phenomenal live music presentation of his brand-new album Royal Tea before it was even released. Now, to celebrate the return of live shows, the concert has been re-mixed and mastered for physical release as Now Serving: Royal Tea Live From The Ryman on June 11th and will be available to own on CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and 2 LP. The DVD will include a film introduction narrated by actor Jeff Daniels. The critically-acclaimed performance includes 12 incredible live tracks, featuring the best from his latest studio release Royal Tea, Bonamassa’s 24th No. 1 record on the Billboard Blues chart, which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. It also includes three electrifying tracks from his 20th anniversary album A New Day Now.
