New Bonamassa DVD Planned For Summer 2012

Bill — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:50:26 +0000

We just got a live DVD from Beacon, which was spectacular! But wait, there is more! Joe and the band will be doing an acoustic tour this summer. The tour will be making a stop at the famous Vienna State Opera House in Vienna, Austria on July 3rd. This is Joe’s second DVD shoot in less than a year. I hope this DVD like the majority of the others is released on CD. Joe posted today on Facebook about meeting up with right hand man, Kevin Shirley.

Joe’s acoustic playing is phenomenal, absolutely no one can get enough of “Woke Up Dreaming”. Imagine a whole acoustic show, filled with tunes that we’ve heard acoustic before and some that we haven’t! Tickets to this amazing gig can be purchased here. We will fill you in with details as they come in!

We have also opened up preordering for Joe’s new studio album “Driving Towards The Daylight”. All preorders can now be placed, click here! Keep in mind all preorders ship weeks before release!

Live From The Beacon Theater

Bill — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 01:39:27 +0000

Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, Joe will be playing the legendary Beacon Theater in NYC. Both nights will be shot for the live DVD. I’ve also heard t hat each night will have its own special guests. Each show will be different. Saturday is completely sold out, but you can still find a few people selling tickets. Too bad they won’t be able to make it!

Friday still has some seats available. Pretty positive that Friday will be a sell out too. Tickets will go quickly before each show, during the day. No word on who the special guests will be as of yet, but less than 24 hours from now, I will be at the Beacon! I will be there for both shows, tweeting live from the Bonamassa Live Twitter. So if you’re not following the fan website now on twitter, it’s time to follow! You don’t want to miss the pictures and tweets from both of the Beacon Shows.

Are You Using Pandora?

Bill — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 05:27:47 +0000

Most of us by now have smartphones and those of us that do, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Pandora Radio. Pandora is a free application that allows you to type in your favorite band, song, genre of music. It will then create a radio station for you to listen to, starting with the original search term you used. After playing a song from that artist, it will play a song that it finds to be similar.

This is a genius idea, which brings me to my next question. Have you found Joe or Black Country Communion through this application? Pandora automatically selected Black Country Communion for me, based on what I had listened to previously.

If you do not have Pandora on your smartphone (Blackberry, Android, or iPhone), I suggest that you get it! You can also stream online from their website.
