Joe Bonamassa

Eric Clapton, one of the world’s pre-eminent blues/rock guitarists, once again summoned an all-star team of six-string heroes for his seventh Crossroads Guitar Festival in 2023. Held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, the two-day concert event raised funds for the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, the chemical dependency treatment and education facility that Clapton founded in 1998. With actor Bill Murray as the Master of Ceremonies, the 2023 festival featured outstanding performances by Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Eric Gales, H.E.R., Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Los Lobos, John Mayer, The Marcus King Band, Roger McGuinn, John McLaughlin, Santana, The Wallflowers, and many more.

Joe Bonamassa has single-handedly transformed Blues from a marginalized legacy genre to an arena-filling spectacle. Interviews and concert footage chronicle his extraordinary rise as a guitar wunderkind mentored by BB King and praised by John Lee Hooker, and his experiences in the cutthroat music business. Despite neglect from the entertainment industry, Joe's independent approach sees him sell-out concerts around the world, even hosting heroes like Eric Clapton at Royal Albert Hall. Joe has 22 #1 Blues albums; more than any other artist, including B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Although Bonamassa is still virtually unknown, his efforts and collaborations have brought the Blues to new heights and broader audiences.

In July 2025, acclaimed blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa played three nights live at the Marquee in Cork in tribute to the legendary Rory Gallagher. Since the sudden death of Rory Gallagher on June 14, 1995, at the age of 47, his status in the music world has only grown larger and more relevant. Rory was a self-taught virtuoso who brought about a musical revolution, avoided the pitfalls of fame and stardom, and yet became an internationally acclaimed superstar and inspiration for many. Rory's influence reached across generations – every aspiring guitarist who encountered him was undoubtedly inspired or transformed by the power of the guitar. Only a handful of guitarists can even remotely do justice to Rory's music and guitar playing, and Joe Bonamassa dutifully took on that challenge, which he himself called "the greatest challenge of my musical life." During three sold-out nights, Joe and his fantastic band brought Gallagher's music to life!
