Currently named the #1 guitar player on Gibson’s Top Ten Modern Blues Guitarist list, Joe Bonamassa paid tribute to the Blues former top players, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, in this exclusive concert experience. Make no mistake, this show was like no other Joe has ever put on before in many ways. The band was an all-star lineup, not his regular touring band and the sold-out show was the biggest of Bonamassa’s career, as he told the audience in praise and admiration of helping him reach the milestone.
