(DVD9+DVD5) Hailed worldwide as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Joe
Bonamassa has almost single-handedly redefined the blues-rock genre and
brought it into the mainstream. He continues this role with his
first-ever entirely acoustic concert, recorded at the venerable Vienna
Opera House with a global ensemble put together by longtime creative
partner Kevin Shirley . The 2CD/2DVD/Blu-ray, An Acoustic Evening at
the Vienna Opera House , comes out March 26, 2013 on Bonamassa's label
J&R Adventures.
Viacom Media Networks' high-definition music channel Palladia HD will
premiere it on Saturday, March 23 and Public Television will begin
airing it as part of its special programming in March. Bonamassa - a
predominantly electric guitar player - was ready for a complete
departure from his usual projects. For years, he had been wowing
audiences with his flagship acoustic song "Woke Up Dreaming," which has
become an iconic staple of his world tour and a fan favorite. Building
on the popularity of this song, Bonamassa and producer Shirley set out
to design an entirely new and intimate "unplugged" concert experience
that they would then bring to seven lucky cities in Europe during summer
2012. They recorded the performance in Vienna- the "City of Music" - at
the Vienna Opera House, a culturally iconic venue steeped in history
and heritage, making it the perfect backdrop for this unprecedented
show.
"To say this was a challenge is an understatement," said Bonamassa. "To
say this was a departure from anything I had ever done before is an even
bigger understatement. I can say with full certainty that it was the
most enjoyable tour I have ever done. On this tour I really learned the
virtues of my singing lessons over the years. Take away those long
guitar solos, all that sustain and that big Gibson sound and what is
left leaves you no option but to dig deep and sing until you can't sing
anymore."
An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House features gorgeously
textured music - 20 songs, filmed in HD and recorded in Dolby 5.1 - made
with a wealth of rare, vintage, organic and "oddball" instruments. The
DVD and Blu-ray will feature 90 minutes of extra footage, interviews and
a making-of documentary. Highlights among the 20 songs include
favorites that span Bonamassa's career-"The Ballad of John Henry," "Woke
Up Dreaming," "Ball Peen Hammer," "Sloe Gin," and "Mountain
Time"-including many he doesn't normally perform live, such as "Athens
to Athens," "Black Lung Heartache," "Jelly Roll," "Around The Bend,"
"Jockey Full of Bourbon," "Seagull," and "Richmond." Accompanying
Bonamassa on the same stage once graced by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert,
Brahms, Mahler, and Haydn are: traditional Irish fiddler Gerry O'Connor,
who also plays mandolin and banjo; Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mats
Wester on the nyckelharpa, a keyed fiddle; Los Angeles-based keyboardist
Arlan Schierbaum texturing the mix with celeste, accordions, toy
pianos, and assorted "organic" instruments; and renowned Puerto Rican
percussionist Lenny Castro , whose works spans genres and reads like a
who's who of artists, including the Rolling Stones, Sir Elton John, Eric
Clapton, Boz Scaggs, Toto, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, Stevie
Wonder, David Sanborn, Avenged Sevenfold, Little Feat, Tom Petty, the
Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more.
Bonamassa and Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes, Iron Maiden, John
Hiatt, Journey, Aerosmith) have collaborated on thirteen projects in the
last seven years, including Bonamassa's previous two live
CD/DVD/Blu-ray projects, Live From The Royal Albert Hall (2010) and
Beacon Theatre: Live From New York (2012), his last six studio albums
and albums with Beth Hart and Black Country Communion.
Guitar Center recently partnered with Bonamassa to launch Guitar
Center's Blues Masters Featuring Joe Bonamassa. Together they will offer
ten musicians the chance to win the grand prize which includes an
opening slot at Joe Bonamassa's headlining show in Los Angeles this
fall, $10,000 cash, gear from Gibson, Ernie Ball, Marshall Amplification
Shure and Dunlop as well as a mentor session in studio with Joe
Bonamassa and producer Kevin Shirley.
Bonamassa is driving sales for the guitar industry and 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 phenom.
Bonamassa's style of guitar has breathed new life and excitement back
into the instrument as legions of new fans are becoming familiar again
with the great sound of guitar-based rock music.
