Joe Bonamassa: Beacon Theatre – Live From New York’ is released as a 2-CD and double vinyl album for the very first time. The double live album features 20 stunning tracks that spans Bonamassa's career with smoky vocals complementing the guitar wizardry and rapid-fingered ease with which his fans know and love.

Alongside the great chemistry he shares with his band mates Carmine Rojas (bass), Tal Bergman (drums) and Rick Melick (keyboards), the Beacon Theatre concert double live album is an exhilarating listening experience from start to finish.

"This show is a testament to an artist at the top of his game, and still growing," says Bonamassa’s producer Kevin Shirley. "Soulful songstress Beth Hart digs deep on a couple of songs with Joe from their duet album, and music legends John Hiatt and Paul Rodgers get up alongside Joe. The interactions are a joy to behold."

In 2011, the Beacon Theatre concert capped a year of achievements for Bonamassa the blues rock titan. At that time, his 12th solo album Dust Bowl debuted at #1 on Billboard's Blues Chart and #37 on Billboard's Top 200, making it his highest-selling and chart-ranking U.S. debut to date.

The album charted #12 in the UK, and was nominated for a 2012 Blues Music Award (Best Blues Rock Album). Bonamassa was honoured as 2011's Guitarist of the Year by Guitar International. In January 2012, Bonamassa graced the front cover of Classic Rock which created major impact outside of the blues arena.

On May 27th, 2012, Bonamassa’s 13th solo album, Driving Towards The Daylight entered the Official UK Album Chart at #2.

Bonamassa's hard rock band Black Country Communion – with band mates Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian – was named "Best New Band of the Last 10 Years" by VH1 Classic's That Metal Show, and Best Breakthrough Act at 2011's Classic Rock Magazine Awards. BCC’s third studio album “Afterglow” will be released by Mascot Records on Monday October 29th, 2012.

Bonamassa music continues to drive the blues and guitar music to a new level. He supports the guitar industry by keeping the guitar alive, helping great companies like Guitar Center, Gibson, Epiphone, Ernie Ball, Dunlop, Seymour Duncan, Clear Sonic and Klotz Cables, all of whom have signature products with the guitar phenomenon. Bonamassa's style of guitar playing has breathed new life and excitement back into the instrument as legions of new fans are once again beginning to familiarise themselves with guitar-based rock music.
