Joe,
I’m sorry to say that I just got turned on to your music, and WOW, you are sick my friend.
I have played your music for the past couple of day’s with friends and we all want to know when your coming to Salt Lake city, Utah.
I had the extreme pleasure to see Joe the God Bonamassa on February 23rd in Albuquerque New Mexico. WOW!! The entire band performs with extreme devotion and dedication. I was covered with goose bumps the entire show! He has a new number one fan in New Mexico and I would travel afar to see him shred his guitar again and again and again. When will be back in The Land of Enchantmant? Becky
Saw Joe last weekend in Dallas. Great show. Big debate going about the encore numbers. Anybody know for sure what the first encore song was. Second number was Just Got Paid, just not sure about the first song. Thanks.
I am wondering how I can become eligible to pre-purchase tickets to Joe’s Chicago show on 10/27. I understand that pre-purchase options are available 4/4. Tickets go on sale to the general public 4/7
Will you be performing in Oregon this year? My son, Brady, graduates this year from high school and is all things guitar (electric)! He’s been taking private lessons from Gary Rowles, son of the late jazz pianist Jimmy Rowles, and hopes to tour and perform one day. He’s currently in the school’s jazz band. He is also interested in becoming a luthier and is just about finished with his first electric guitar as his senior project in high school, studying under Paul Kinkaid at Oregon State University. The staff at the high school has been ecstatic about his guitar project as they’ve watched him pack pieces of lumber back and forth to the school, that over time, has morphed into a pretty awesome looking guitar–it’s driving him crazy that he can’t play it yet! Anyway, we would love to make his dream come true and take him to one of your concerts as a belated graduation gift this year. We might be able to make the Seattle concert, but if you’re coming down to Oregon this year, we’d probably attend that one instead. Brady discovered your music this year and we both love it! It’s definitely inspired him and taken him in a blues direction. Thank you.
I just recently heard Joe’s name again last year…I often wondered what ever happened to him. I went years ago, to the lilac fest (?) in Rochester, NY years ago to an outdoor venue with BB King. Out comes this little kid with a hat, chubby cheeks and a guitar. I thought it was a joke…introduced as ‘Smokin’ Joe Bonamassa from Utica, NY. I think his father was on the side of the stage. When the band started and threw his head back and started playing, I almost fell over. He kicked butt. He then came out later with BB. He stole the show. I saw him again in Buffalo at a bar called Major Hooples. My friend Harvey Morrell backed him up playing bass. I still have the flyer from the bar. He was around 11 years old. I just saw him on PBS at Seton Hall in London. Made the big time, huh, Joe?! Can’t wait to get my hands on your CD’s. You are truly a gift for the Blues in this day and age. Sorry I missed you at Univ. at Buffalo. I hope to see you again soon.
Can someone post on jbxp on the pre-sale password page what the password is for Richmond, 11/13/11? I posted on that page -Valerie Hamilton. Thank you! I can try here tomorrow morning also.
was wondering if joe was going to be in las angeles or san diego area in future and how to join his fan club , i think he is great watched dvd Royal Albert Hall
Joe,you should have look at Harvest Jazz and Blues Fest in Fredericton,New Brunswick,Canada,great artists come up every year and you’d be a great addition,ie Johnny Lang,Buddy Guy,Levon Helm and about hundred more this year,cheers and I love the new album.
Any chance of Joe returning to the Orpheum Theatre in Wichita, Kansas? It’s been almost 3 years ago that he started his tour here, and we would love for him to return!
In regards to Joe’s amazing performance at “The Beacon” will that be also available on bluray? I can only hope, great to see Joe & band on fire, what an amazing year of music for Joe, talk about being busy,
look forward to next year too.
Awesome Show in Vancouver on December, 17, 2011 your performance was awe inspiring, you are the best that I have ever seen or heard, great skills, range, and talents “The best kept secret in the music world” Come back to Vancouver soon the crowd loved you and your performance! The buzz after the show was like nothing I have ever seen or heard before. For such a young man you have a lot ahead of you keep it up and your loyal fans will reward your skills, dedication, passion and hard work. GREAT GREAT SHOW COME BACK VERY SOON and DO TWO SHOWS
Hello Joe, I saw your concert from the Royal Albert Hall on public tv. I went out and bought several of your cs. I took my daughter and her fiancee to see you in Nov. in Philly. You are great! I have listened to your music everyday since seeing your conceet on tv. I feel you are a great person as well as a great guitar player. Your song Asking Around for you touched me profoundly.My husband died in July 2008 and your song gave me a great deal of comfort. Your music has had a good effect on my mood and I plan to continue listening to you and look forward to your new release in March ’12.
Hello! I am wondering when tour dates for after May 2012 will be posted? Just received our signed Soliloquy print yesterday and can’t wait to book airline tickets for a location in late summer/early fall. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!!!
I was always a fan of rock until 2 years ago a good friend introduced me to the blues. Another friend told me about Joe on PBS at Royal Albert Hall and I was mesmerized. Joe has the amazing ability to make you feel his music as if you are the only person in the room. Its soothing and it rocks. What a phenomenal talent and man. Looking forward to seeing Joe for the first time in April 2012.
Hello Joe, I’m writing from Germany, City of Dortmund. I’ve seen and heard your concert in Essen. Amazing! Godlike! Heaven-inspired! Now I’m not able to think of anything else. Nothing compares to you, I’m sure.
I hope so much that you will return to Germany and that it will not take such a long time.
Passionately waiting for the “God of Guitar”,
Erika
just back from seeing joe and the band in Newcastle UK
Amazing gig cant wait for the next time on tour here.
Was at BCC gig last year That was great but this was awesome.
I just wanted to say that I watched you on PBS the other night and I’m totally hooked!! I had heard your name before but never really knew much about you so thought I would give you a chance. You had me mezmerized!! I recorded it and I watch it over and over. My daughter asks me how many times I can watch it and I told her that I can’t get enough! Sometimes the way you play that guitar is absolutely sensual! Thank you for turning me on to the blues! I never knew how much I liked them!
Was just typing this message when it disappeared. Here goes again. Just saw you at the Fresno Saroyan Theater on 4/19/12. Your freak’n amazing and there are no adequate superlatives to describe what you do with a guitar. And your band is equally tight. But I gotta tell ya, a small venue like the Saroyan (about 2,000 people), cannot take the high volume and audience lighting that was used. Your sound guy needs to take it down a notch or two, especially on the drum bass. People’s organs were literally vibrating and their brains concussing,and I watched a few poor souls have to give it up and leave early. And the frequent direct lighting into the audience was enough to induce an epileptic seizure. Don’t take away from your fan’s being able to concentrate on what you do. You’re beautiful, dude. Hope my suggestion is taken in the spirit its given.
Hello Rick
I noticed your Buddha today on the Stellar R.A.H. concert DVD, and just read your story of how it got broken on tour.
Just so happens that I have just created a unique Southwest version of the Buddha called “EL Tranquilo” (the peaceful one,The Quiet one)
and the only one “with a Sombrero.”
I would like to send you one to replace the broken if you would be interested.
You can have a look Online at the one I created and see if he is worthy of the position in the Band.

Thanks Rick for your time,consideration, and the Beautiful, Inspiring Music!
Hi Joe. I hope you had an outstanding birthday. Royal Albert Hall is still my favorite, as it was my introduction to you and your music. Really enjoy Beacon Theater, and am looking forward to getting Driving Towards the Daylight when it hits the store on the 22nd. Thank you again for the autographed pic (thank you to Alex again for getting my thank you letter to you). Your music still “takes me to a place I’d forgotten I could go. You are an amazing guitarist and coupled with your vocal quietness, I am so glad I discovered your music. I am still telling everyone about you. Anyway, I hope you had an amazing birthday. And heres hoping you have an outstanding show at the Benedum tomorrow night. I’ll be there in spirit.
Hi,
Was wondering if Joe is going to be in NJ this year (2011). Looking to buy tickets as gift for my nephew. Westbury is a little far for us (2hrs).

There are no booked shows for NJ yet, Westbury is the closest. I will be going to that show.
