Free Bonamassa Show at Liverpool’s Cavern

Joe Bonamassa’s love of the British Blues is said to be at the heart of his musical inspiration; and, for the first time, on Monday June 27th, he will perform a free “invitation only” concert at the legendary Cavern Club venue in Liverpool, as a thank you to all the fans that helped his career grow from playing small clubs to sold-out arena tours worldwide.

Billed as Joe Bonamassa In Concert: A Salute To The British Blues Explosion, the intimate concert in front of 300 people will preview material that he will perform at five special concerts in the UK this July, where Bonamassa will pay homage to the British blues rock guitarists that inspired him – Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.

His British Blues Explosion concerts will be at Hoghton Tower, Lancashire (Saturday July 2nd), Glasgow Clyde Auditorium (Sunday July 3rd),Bristol Colston Hall (Tuesday July 5th), Greenwich London Music Time Festival (Thursday July 7th), and Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire (Friday July 8th).  The dates include two concerts performed at heritage castles (Hoghton and Newark), and a special show at the London’s Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. Tickets available from ticketmaster.co.uk and www.jbonamassa.com/tour-dates.

Celebrated British blues guitarist Joanne Shaw Taylor is special guest at the Hoghton, Greenwich and Newark outdoor concerts.

When Bonamassa plays the Cavern Club on June 27th, he will also be inducted into the Cavern Club’s historic Wall of Fame, where he will be commemorated with a special brick in the wall with his name inscribed on the brick. Previous artists to be inducted on the Wall of Fame include The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, and many more musical icons.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me,” said a jubilant Joe Bonamassa. “I’m so excited to be performing the British Blues Explosion concerts for very first time at the Cavern Club, the same venue where The Beatles first played. It’s the perfect venue for me to showcase the music of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Page. I hope my fans will get a kick out of it as much as I do.”
