Blues-rock icon JOE BONAMASSA has gifted fans with a brand-new holiday staple, the newly written “Lonely Christmas Eve”. Infused with Bonamassa’s signature guitar prowess and soulful vocals, “Lonely Christmas Eve” captures the spirit of the season while offering a fresh addition to his growing Christmas music collection. Co-written with James House (Martina McBride, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait), the song tells the story of friends gathering together to celebrate the season.
“Lonely Christmas Eve” is also the title of this Christmas release, a 15-track collection of Bonamassa recordings of classic holiday songs and originals, some remixed / partially re-recorded for the occasion.
2024 has been a monumental year for Bonamassa, with his live album and concert film Live at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra debuting at #1 on multiple Billboard charts, including Blues, Classical, and Classical Crossover. This achievement marks his 28th career #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, extending his record and showcasing his ability to blend blues with orchestral grandeur seamlessly.
Last Month, Bonamassa celebrated the 10th anniversary of his landmark album Different Shades Of Blue with the special digital reissue ‘Different Shades Of Blue (Overdrive)’. Featuring rare tracks and fan favorites like the newly released “Black Irish Eyes,” the project invited listeners to revisit the album that marked a turning point in his career, debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200 back in 2014.
Currently, Bonamassa is in the midst of his highly anticipated Fall Tour, delivering electrifying performances across the U.S. Fans can expect a powerful mix of new tracks, classic hits, and perhaps a few holiday surprises.
