Award-winning blues rock star, guitar hero and singer-songwriter Joe Bonamassa and his ace touring band will undertake a major UK arena tour in March 2012, making their debut at the Metro Radio Arena Newcastle on Sunday 25th March 2012.
Fresh off his successful European tour with Black Country Communion, and rave reviews of BCC’s “2” album, Joe’s forthcoming UK solo tour will see him perform material from his current studio album “Dust Bowl” plus songs from his vast catalogue of albums including A New Day Yesterday, The Ballad of John Henry, Sloe Gin, and Black Rock.
Joe will also preview some new songs from his forthcoming studio album due for release in late May 2012.
Joe’s band includes Carmine Rojas (bass), Rick Melick (keyboards) and Tal Bergman (drums).
