FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, THE BLUES ROCK GUITARIST PREVIEWS MUSIC FROM HIS BRITISH BLUES EXPLOSION UK CONCERTS. WATCH HIM, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, AS HE PAYS HOMAGE TO THE MUSIC OF JEFF BECK, ERIC CLAPTON AND JIMMY PAGE!

Joe Bonamassa’s love of the British Blues is at the heart of his musical inspiration; and, for the first time, on Monday June 27th, he will perform a free “invitation only” concert at the legendary Cavern Club venue in Liverpool, as a thank you to all the fans that have helped his career grow from playing small clubs to sold-out arena tours worldwide.

This intimate concert in front of 300 people will preview material that he will perform at five special concerts in the UK this July, where Joe will pay homage to the British blues rock guitarists that inspired him – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

This one-time only UK concert experience is billed as JOE BONAMASSA IN CONCERT: A SALUTE TO THE BRITISH BLUES EXPLOSION.

Joe’s British Blues Explosion concerts will be at Hoghton Tower, Lancashire (Saturday July 2), Glasgow Clyde Auditorium (Sunday July 3), Bristol Colston Hall (Tuesday July 5), Greenwich London Music Time Festival (Thursday July 7), and Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire (Friday July 8). The dates include two concerts performed at heritage castles (Hoghton and Newark), and a special show at the London’s Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Tickets available from ticketmaster.co.uk, www.jbonamassa.com/tour-dates.

Celebrated British Blues guitarist Joanne Shaw Taylor is special guest at the Hoghton, Greenwich and Newark outdoor concerts.

When Joe plays the Cavern Club on June 27th, he will also be inducted into the Cavern Club’s historic “Wall of Fame”, where he will be commemorated with a special brick in the wall with his name inscribed on the brick. Previous artists to be inducted on the Wall of Fame include the Beatles, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, and many more musical icons.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me,” says a jubilant Joe Bonamassa. “I’m so excited to be performing the British Blues Explosion concerts for very first time at the Cavern Club, the same venue where the Beatles first played. It’s the perfect venue for me to showcase the music of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Page. I hope my fans will get a kick out of it as much as I do.”
