Joe Bonamassa is known for his skilled infusion of rock and blues music. In addition to playing the guitar, he writes and sings his own pieces. Interestingly, while many blues or rock musicians of his era cite earlier American artists as their primary influences, Bonamassa grew up admiring the sounds of Irish or British groups. Notable performers that left a mark on Bonamassa include
Jeff Beck
and
Band of Friends
featuring Rory Gallagher. Joe Bonamassa's magnetic stage presence and unique blend of two genres combine to make his concerts unforgettable experiences.
''Very few artists on the blues music scene can claim to have it in their blood from such can early age like Joe Bonamassa. His father encouraged him to start playing guitar when he was just four years old. At the young age of 12, he was considered talented enough with a guitar to be an opening act for B.B. King. In the span of just 13 years, he's written and produced enough material to release 15 solo career albums under his independent label. Attending school during the week, he used his weekends to tour around Pennsylvania and New York with the band he had formed, Smokin' Joe Bonamassa. He later played with Bloodline, a group that did not achieve mainstream fame but did draw attention to Bonamassa's skills with the guitar. The blues star released his first studio recording in 2000.'
