An Open Letter from Joe Bonamassa to Rock Blues House, My Fans, and the Whole Bonamassa Community
To My Rock Blues House Family, My Incredible Fans, and the Entire Bonamassa Community:
I’d want to take a moment to convey my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me during my musical career. From the first time I picked up a guitar as a child in Utica, New York, to performing on some of the world’s most renowned stages, I know none of this would have been possible without your unwavering encouragement, enthusiasm, and belief in my music.
To the Rock Blues House, you have been a pillar in promoting and sustaining the sound that I cherish. Your commitment to preserving the blues, providing a platform for musicians like me, and introducing new generations to this beautiful genre is something I will always be grateful for. Your dedication to the art form has not only helped me grow as an artist, but it has also provided me with a home—a place where I can share my passion for blues with individuals who truly grasp its essence.
My supporters are the driving force behind my profession. You’ve seen me perform in everything from small clubs to sold-out arenas, from my first albums to the most recent. Whether you’ve been with me since the days of A New Day Yesterday or you’re just discovering my music, your passion, energy, and love drive all I do. I see you at the shows, hear your voices singing along, and can sense your passion in every note I play. You have made this journey worthwhile, and I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you to the entire Bonamassa Community, including my bandmates, crew, and everyone behind the scenes, for joining us on this amazing adventure. Your devotion and hard work make it all possible, and I’m extremely blessed to have such a fantastic staff by my side every step of the road.
Music is a common experience, and blues is a language that unites us all. Because of you, I am able to live my dream every day. Thank you for making this journey worth it. Here’s to many more years of enjoying the blues together!
With heartfelt gratitude and love,
Joe Bonamassa
