The American Blues Rock guitarist and songwriter has shared the stage with a laundry list of who's who in the music industry since he exploded onto the scene as a kid opening for B.B. King. King once prophesied that the guitar virtuoso would "be a legend before he's 25."

King was not wrong. Bonamassa has almost 30 #1 Billboard Blues Albums, 5 Grammy nominations, and 4 Blues Music Award wins.

Bonamassa is continuously touring, hosting and performing at Music Festivals across the world, hosting his own podcast, Live From Nerdville, and SiriusXM radio show, and has even started his own non-profit foundation, Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation.
