Joe Bonamassa

New Hartford, NY (raised in Utica, NY)

Upstate New York's blues-rock titan turned pro at 12 opening for B.B. King, and he hasn't slowed down since. With 29 #1 Billboard Blues albums on his own independent label, Bonamassa is the genre's most prolific chart-topper alive. Expect vintage guitars, big sound, and no fluff.
