When “smokin’ Joe” was 12   he had a “red tele and strat”. He lived in a “Gumdrop House on Lollipop lane in the land of make believe”. He started playing guitar when he was 4. A few years  later his teacher was the late Danny Gallon. At 12 he was the opening act for BB King. I think if I heard a story like this on the TV show “To Tell The Truth” I would be a little bit puzzled by this mystery person. What about you?

far from a gumdrop house on a lollipop lane.

at age 6 he was playing full Jimi Hendrix songs.. 

I've been a huge fan of Joe Bonamassa since 2006.

I've never had a 'band crush' in all my growing up years, but when I heard Joe.. something stirs inside and makes me want to play guitar.

I've been to 10 concerts from 2011-2019.. in 2 different countries, 2 different provinces/states and 7 different cities

I've met him 4 times.. he is a guitar nerd if you get to talk to him

 

he has 28 albums out.. only nominated 5 times and has lost every time..

He does 245 shows a year, mostly 3500-5000 seat theatres.

 He played live at the Grammy's this past weekend (one of the only live performances at the Grammy's) at the non-broadcast at 4pm EST.
