Keeping the Blues Alive 501(c)(3) aspires to foster and highlight the rich, inspirational history of Blues Music through Joe’s personal experience and growth within the Blues/Rock community over the past 20+ years. These sessions will include rising artists and current Blues and Blues/Rock artists, often featuring current, contemporary interpretations of traditional American Blues songs.

Through these events, Keeping the Blues Alive 501(c)(3) endeavors to stimulate and enhance both the passion and awareness of Blues Music by exposing students to its cultivation from African American poetry, spirituals, and work songs. All of this is achieved by instilling a message that through perseverance, hard work, and dedication, one can achieve the dreams they desire.

Check out the new tour hat which is now available online and is available at Joe’s shows too. The hat has a trucker cap design and has Joe’s name arched across the top.

Robert Randolph and Joe Bonamassa at Crossroads

The official Crossroads DVD was released recently. However, it only included one song with Joe, where he plays with Robert Randolph doing “Goin Down”. Joe also did one of his own songs “Blues Deluxe” with Robert Randolph. This particular song was not included on the DVD, but it’s still a gem. You can check it out on YouTube. I just found this one a few days back. Enjoy!
