Blues-rock icon JOE BONAMASSA returns with the release of “Trigger Finger,” the advance EP from his eagerly awaited new album ‘Breakthrough’, due out July 18th on J&R Adventures. Marking another bold chapter in Bonamassa’s storied career, the track captures his signature fusion of powerful guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and raw vocal swagger. Co-written with long-time collaborator Tom Hambridge, “Trigger Finger” is a hard-hitting, up-tempo anthem about resilience, reinvention, and the fire that fuels forward motion.
With its fiery guitar work and no-nonsense lyrics, “Trigger Finger” finds Bonamassa leaning into a grittier, more rocking sound that highlights the album’s adventurous spirit.
The EP also includes title track “Breakthrough,” a soulful and uplifting anthem of transformation, along with the moody, introspective “Shake This Ground” and the gritty, uptempo standout rocker “Drive By The Exit Sign”.
Each of these songs showcases a different facet of Bonamassa’s evolving artistry and the emotional range of ”Breakthrough”, his most stylistically diverse studio effort to date
Produced by Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, The Black Crowes, Journey), ‘Breakthrough’ was crafted across Greece, Nashville, and Los Angeles, blending global influences into a dynamic, genre-bending collection.
