In an unparalleled blend of blues, rock, and orchestral majesty, Joe Bonamassa is set to release Live At The Hollywood Bowl on May 17th via J&R Adventures. This monumental CD/DVD, also available in CD/BR, 2 LP Vinyl (180-gram), and digital formats, immortalizes Joe’s first-ever performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in August 2023. Accompanied by an impressive ensemble of 40 orchestra members, Bonamassa delivered a performance that will now be forever encapsulated in this eagerly awaited release.
Live At The Hollywood Bowl With Orchestra showcases Bonamassa’s virtuosic blend of blues and rock but also elevates fan-favourite tracks with grandiose orchestral arrangements by some of Hollywood’s finest – David Campbell, Trevor Rabin, and Jeff Bova.
“Very few gigs represent my journey in music more than the Hollywood Bowl. I moved to Los Angeles in 2003 in search of opportunity and cheaper rent than New York City. My first gig at The Mint was attended by 5 of my friends and that’s all. We have played The Greek Theatre many times since, but the Bowl has always been a dream. The orchestra and the sheer scale of the event and venue is something I will never forget. I am so grateful that we filmed this special event in my life,” reminisces Bonamassa.
The project’s lead single is a riveting live rendition of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s classic “Twenty-Four Hour Blues” from Bonamassa’s latest studio album Blues Deluxe Volume 2. Listen to the new live single.
“With a master practitioner like Joe Bonamassa on guitar, studio ingredients become magic live,” comments Kevin Shirley, the project’s producer. “Embracing the challenge of surpassing previous concerts, we aimed high for the Hollywood Bowl, incorporating orchestral maestros like David Campbell and Trevor Rabin. The result is a cinematic celebration of Joe’s music, a testament to his unparalleled standing in the blues-rock realm.”

Joe Bonamassa onthult “Live At The Hollywood Bowl With Orchestra” – een spectaculaire live-registratie ter herdenking van zijn historische debuut op deze iconische locatie
In een ongeëvenaarde mix van blues, rock en orkestrale grootsheid brengt Joe Bonamassa op 17 mei Live At The Hollywood Bowl With Orchestra uit via J&R Adventures. Deze monumentale CD/DVD, ook verkrijgbaar op CD/BR, 2 LP (180 gram) en digitale formats, vereeuwigt Joe’s allereerste optreden in de iconische Hollywood Bowl in augustus 2023. Begeleid door een indrukwekkend ensemble van 40 orkestleden leverde Bonamassa een optreden dat nu voor altijd is vastgelegd in deze langverwachte release.
Live At The Hollywood Bowl With Orchestra toont Bonamassa’s virtuoze mix van blues en rock, maar verheft ook fan-favoriete nummers met grandioze orkestrale arrangementen door enkele van Hollywood’s beste – David Campbell, Trevor Rabin, en Jeff Bova. “Er zijn maar weinig optredens die mijn reis in de muziek beter vertegenwoordigen dan de Hollywood Bowl. Ik verhuisde naar Los Angeles in 2003 op zoek naar kansen en goedkopere huur dan New York City. Mijn eerste optreden in The Mint werd bijgewoond door 5 vrienden en dat was alles. We hebben sindsdien vaak in The Greek Theatre gespeeld, maar de Bowl is altijd een droom geweest. Het orkest en de enorme omvang van de show en de locatie is iets wat ik nooit zal vergeten. Ik ben zo dankbaar dat we deze speciale gebeurtenis in mijn leven hebben kunnen filmen,” aldus Bonamassa.
De leadsingle van het album is een meeslepende live-uitvoering van Bobby “Blue” Bland’s klassieker “Twenty-Four Hour Blues” van Bonamassa’s laatste studio-album Blues Deluxe Volume 2. Luister naar de nieuwe live single HIER.
“Met een meesterpracticus als Joe Bonamassa op gitaar worden studio-ingrediënten live tot iets magisch omgetoverd ,” zegt Kevin Shirley, de producer van het project. “Om de uitdaging aan te gaan om eerdere concerten te overtreffen, hebben we hoog ingezet voor de Hollywood Bowl, met orkestrale maestro’s als David Campbell en Trevor Rabin. Het resultaat is een filmische viering van Joe’s muziek, een bewijs van zijn ongeëvenaarde status in de blues-rock wereld.”
Bonamassa’s Hollywood Bowl optreden was een “bucket list” gebeurtenis die zijn status als leidend figuur in de moderne blues-rock verder bevestigt. De samenwerking met een volledig orkest, onder leiding van gerenommeerde Hollywood orkestratoren, voegde een ongekende diepte en omvang toe aan Joe’s muziek en bood fans een geheel nieuwe manier om zijn catalogus te ervaren. Het project vertegenwoordigt wederom een hoogtepunt in Bonamassa’s carrière en omvat de magie van een live optreden waar elke noot resoneert met de energie van een muzikant op het toppunt van zijn kunnen.
Bonamassa’s invloed op het bluesrockgenre is onmetelijk. Guitar World heeft hem geprezen als “de grootste bluesgitarist ter wereld”, een bewijs van zijn vaardigheid, invloed en rol in het naar de voorgrond brengen van bluesrock. Met een carrière die meer dan drie decennia omspant, heeft Bonamassa voortdurend publiek over de hele wereld geboeid met zijn dynamische live-optredens en muzikaal vernuft.
