Date & Venue: FRIDAY 10 JULY 2009 • NILE • Ahoy Hall * Rotterdam * The Netherlands LINEUP Joe Bonamassa (vocals, guitar); Rick Melick (keyboards); Carmine Rojas (bass); Bogie Bowles (drums). Joseph Leonard Bonamassa (born May 8, 1977) is an American blues rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. He started his career at age twelve, when he opened for B.B. King. Since 2000, Bonamassa has released fifteen solo albums through his independent record label J&R Adventures, of which eleven have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Blues chart. ABOUT Joe Bonamassa’s ability to connect with live concert audiences is transformational, and his new album, The Ballad Of John Henry, brings that energy to his recorded music more powerfully than ever before. The ninth solo album and seventh studio release of his career - as well as his fourth consecutive with producer KevinShirley (Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes, etc.) - the disc adds a heavy dose of “swamp“ to Bonamassa’s virtuoso mix of ’60s-era British blues-rock (à la Beck and Clapton) and roots-influenced Delta sounds. Remarkably, the 2009 release of The Ballad Of John Henry coincides with his twentieth year as a professional musician, an extraordinary timeline for a young artist just into his ’30s. A child prodigy, Bonamassa was finessing Stevie Ray Vaughan licks when he was seven and by the time he was ten, After first hearing him play, BB King said, “This kid’s potentialis unbelievable. He hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface. He’s one of a kind.” By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for the blues icon. Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!
