Joe Bonamassa

Blues-rock superstar Joe Bonamassa is one of the most celebrated performing musicians of today. With the release of his new studio album Breakthrough, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart, Bonamassa extended his record for the most #1s in the chart’s history—now totaling 29. Hailed by critics as “an amazing record that promises to become a classic” (Blues Rock Review), Breakthrough showcases Bonamassa’s artistic evolution and fearless creative spirit. The milestone follows his 4th GRAMMY nomination and the release of two acclaimed albums: Blues Deluxe Vol. 2, a tribute to his early roots, and Live at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra, which captured one of his most iconic performances with a 40- piece ensemble. Together, these releases cement his legacy as one of the most dynamic guitarists and songwriters in modern blues and rock. Only in his 40s, Bonamassa has become a living legend with an astounding multi-genre catalog. He has released more than 50 albums, including studio and live recordings, as well as collaborative albums with his adventurous side projects: Black Country Communion and Rock Candy Funk Party. A prolific writer always on the hunt to expand his eclectic musical horizons, Bonamassa has a limitless work ethic—whether it’s in the studio, on the road, or producing new music for others. In recent years, he has produced career-defining albums for Joanne Shaw Taylor, Marc Broussard, Larry McCray, and Jimmy Hall via his independent labels Journeyman Records and KTBA Records. He also launched Journeyman LLC, a full-service artist management, label, and promotion company that helps build awareness for exceptional independent artists worldwide.
