Bonamassa Has Arrived in Times Square

joe-bonamassa-times-square

Just image  this, you’re walking through Times Square. Low and behold appears a Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart billboard. Is it just dream? Not this time; it’s reality. Pictured above is a billboard from Times Square in New York City. Joe and Beth’s album cover was displayed in Times Square along with the release date of the album. Both billboards advertise press releases from PR Newswire, which is the company that deals with Joe’s press releases. Many thanks to Lindsay (Joe’s sister) for taking this awesome picture.

American Guitar Hero

Joe was praised today as an American Guitar Hero by the Canadian Press. Are you from Canada (Vancouver, BC area) and a fan of Joe? Help spread the word about the Vancouver show!

It just keeps getting better for Vancouver-area rock-guitar freaks. First off was the announcement last month that British guitar legend Jeff Beck was coming to town. Now the player most likely to one day claim Beck’s title as the world’s greatest living rock guitarist, Joe Bonamassa, is set to play here as well. He’ll be at the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday, December 17.

That is some recognition –  “the world’s greatest living rock guitarist”. Heck, I’ll take that any day. Read the full review online at straight.com. On a side note, I heard today from Joe’s management that all fall shows are selling out at a record pace. Fellow street teamers, you’ll be contacted within the next few weeks in regards to promoting the shows.

PS – New JB Street Team T-Shirts coming soon to an internet website near you…

Exclusive Presale Codes

jb_tickets

I’ve got a lot of emails recently about how to get pre-sale codes for Joe’s shows. Presale codes are sent out by email, before the normal tickets go on sale. How can you get on the list of people to be emailed with presale codes? It’s pretty simple.. Joe’s presales work in the following way:

  1. You must be signed up for Joe’s Official Email list. If you’re not currently signed up, you can sign up here.
  2. When you sign up, you must fill out your location information correct (city, state, zip).
  3. If the location information is not filled out or not filled out properly, you will not receive any emails about presales.
  4. Do not unsubscribe from the email list after you sign up; you won’t get the presale emails.
  5. Signing up after the presale codes have already been sent out will not help at all, you will not get the presale code information.

I hope that clears up some confusion about how the presale process works. People also inquire about how to get included in the meet n’ greet with Joe. The meet n’ greets are for street teamers who have gone above and beyond to promote Joe. Have you told anyone about Joe today?

Awesome Woke Up Dreaming Cover

 

This has to the be the best cover of Woke Up Dreaming that I’ve ever seen. Everything is spot on. In the video above is Nikolai Neeven and he is from the Netherlands. Joe approved of the video and invited him to a sound check – how cool is that?

Nikolai also has other videos on his YouTube page, where you can see him cover So Many Roads. I sure wish I could play like that. Rock on Nikolai…

Two Years Since Royal Albert Hall

rah_dvd1

On May 4th 2011, it was the two year anniversary of Royal Albert Hall. Joe had this to say about the two year anniversary.

Wow! Two years have passed since the show at the Albert Hall. It is hard to believe how much my life has changed since then. Thank you for making that show that was obviously so special to me to be welcomed into you homes, hearts and blu ray DVD players.  To say that night had everything on the line is a understatement.  It was my big moment.. It was first day of the rest of my career so to speak..  I look back on it with pride and always saying it could of been better.  I think my favorite part of the film is the sheer fear and honesty you can see on my face during the interviews.  I mean.. At that point I had played my fair share of gigs but nothing like this and I knew it was my big opportunity 20 years after it all started.  Kevin did a masterful job putting together both the audio, video and most of the program itself.. Roy my manager made put our whole company on save every penny mode because our little two hour show was costing around $3,000 a minute. He made sure we had the support we needed to give it a go.  It was certainly stressful but rewarding as you can see.   A day that I will never forget almost better than my Birthday..  Oh god thats in 4 days!!  34 this year!!  I cant believe it..

And yesterday May 8th, Joe turned 34. Happy Birthday Joe!
