NEW YORK, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Three-time GRAMMY nominee, 25x Billboard chart topper and Blues-Rock titan Joe Bonamassa announces the biggest blues rock party on the beach, joined by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band and Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening. Tickets for Keeping The Blues Alive Presents: Joe Bonamassa & Friends on Aug. 19 at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY are on sale now at LiveNation.com.
This extraordinary evening will feature full sets from each act, before culminating into an exciting, unprecedented end-of-the-evening collaboration set. Ticket holders will experience some of the best blues-rock music and guitar mastery on the scene today at one of the most iconic amphitheaters in America.
Joe Bonamassa, a virtuoso on guitar and hailed internationally as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation was cited by Guitar World Magazine as “the world’s biggest blues guitarist.” Bonamassa has almost single-handedly redefined the blues-rock genre and brought it into the mainstream. He will perform his songs from his latest No. 1 Billboard blues album Time Clocks, alongside career-spanning fan favorites with his incredible all-star band.
In a 20-year recording career, Shepherd has established himself as an immensely popular recording artist, a consistently in-demand live act and an influential force in a worldwide resurgence of interest in the blues. At 16 years old, he burst onto the national scene with the release of his debut RIAA Platinum-certified album Ledbetter Heights, and his RIAA Platinum-certified sophomore effort Trouble Is… Bonamassa and Shepherd grew up as kids at the same time as guitar prodigies, and they are still great friends today.
At the age of 17, Bonham’s group Air Race opened for the likes of Queen, Meat Loaf, Ted Nugent and AC/DC. His father, legendary drummer for Led Zeppelin, John Bonham died in 1980, with Jason stepping in from time to time to help keep his father’s memory alive. Jason teamed up with greats like Paul Rodgers, Slash, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and more, earning a GRAMMY nomination in 1993 for Muddy Waters Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters. Bonham and Bonamassa were in a band together called Black Country Communion with “Voice Of Rock” Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Trapeze) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theatre) which is currently on hiatus due to all the band members solo careers.
