About Joe Bonamassa
As Joe Bonamassa grows his reputation as one of the world's greatest guitar players, he is also evolving into a charismatic blues-rock star and singer-songwriter of stylistic depth and emotional resonance. His new album Driving Towards The Daylight, his "lucky" 13th , is a balanced back-to-basics album that highlights Bonamassa's signature style of roots blues with rock-and-roll guts, while honoring the traditions of the original blues musicians.

After spending over two decades volunteering and donating to various music advocacy programs, Joe Bonamassa founded his own foundation called Keeping The Blues Alive in an effort to supplement the loss of music education in schools - promoting the heritage of blues to the next generation while funding music scholarships and more. All donations to the non-profit are allocated to grade school programs all over the country - repairing music instruments and equipping music classrooms with the necessary learning tools. The foundation also funds Riffnotes.org which is a video "edu-tainment" initiative currently creating a FREE online music library of educational music lessons accessible to anyone.
