Guitar icon Joe Bonamassa announced a special After Party Showcase to follow his pay-per-view global streaming concert event broadcasting live from the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on September 20th. Bonamassa will be performing his new studio album Royal Tea (recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London) in its entirety, a month before its release on October 23rd. He will also perform fan favorites from his recent 20th anniversary album, A New Day Now. With full concert production lasting over an hour-an-a-half, the music will continue immediately following Joe’s show with Keeping The Blues Alive’s After Party Showcase. Highlighting some of the genre’s most talented, blues-forward acts of this generation, the Showcase will feature over an hour of non-stop performances from artists including:
Ally Venable Band
The Cold Stares
Elles Bailey
Ida Mae
Jared James Nichols
Jontavious Willis
Katy Guillen & The Drive
Robert Jon & The Wreck
Southern Avenue
Tyler Bryant
Vanessa Collier
Donations received during the After Party Showcase will benefit the Fueling Musicians program and help to continue its mission of assisting touring musicians unable to make a living due to COVID-19. The After Party was created to share these talented artists with a whole new audience – an opportunity to increase exposure for certain acts during these difficult times. Joe has personally taken it upon himself to raise awareness and highlight talented musicians who otherwise would not be able to reach these fans due to touring cancellations.
