ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

OPEN AIR AT NEIMЁNSTER!

A SALUTE TO THE BRITISH BLUES EXPLOSION. A once-in-a-lifetime event! Joe Bonamassa pays homage to the music of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. The concert will be held at the beautiful world heritage site of the Abbey Neumunster located  in the Grund district of Luxembourg City. The Benedictine abbey was destroyed in 1542 and rebuilt by monks in 1606. With a long and vast history as a police station, a prison, a Prussian barracks and used to intern WWII-prisoners it is now a meeting place and a cultural centre. Joe Bonamassa’s love of the British Blues is at the heart of his musicial inspiration; and, for the first time, he will perform this unique concert tribute. “If it wasn’t for certain British musicians of the early 1960s, the Blues may well never have exploded into Rock music as we know it today, and indeed may have passed into history,” says Bonamassa. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are some of the greatest guitarists of their time that influenced Joe Bonamassa’s career. All three are Yardbirds alumni, and indeed actually all played together at one time in the same band. Jimmy Page went on to form Led Zeppelin, which became the ultimate electric Blues band and both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck became international superstars in their own right. Now, Blues superstar, Joe Bonamassa, will pay tribute to these legends of the British Blues, in a stunning live concert homage. This is a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience not to be missed.
