WITH his trademark mix of ’60s-era British blues-rock and roots-influenced Delta sounds, Joe Bonamassa is emerging as one of the world’s greatest – and hardest-working – guitar players.

Averaging some 200 shows a year, he has announced a date at the BIC on May 30 next year as part of his latest British tour. Tickets for the show go on sale from usual outlets on Monday, November 2.

The tour will find Bonamassa showcasing material from his new album, The Ballad of John Henry.
