I'm not even a R&R fan, nor a frequent jazz or blues listener, but I wouldn't miss this incredible artist and performer.

Joe B. is an amazing entertainer. I recently saw him live for the first time, it won't be the last. He quite literally beat the heck out his guitars for over 2 hours non stop. To thoroughly appreciate Joe you need to see him in concert. Worth every penny and then some. Add Beth Hart to the mix……WOW……...

YES, I mean this site is pure fantasy, so in a world where greatness is rewarded JOE BO gets in. In reality, we have a better chanced of having an idiot for a president in 2018.

Joe is the best of all time. I've seen him many times. I've never seen an artist not miss an note in the show.

there are a lot of people deserving of it and joe is one of them i see him being inducted in 2029 unless they start using popular vote i'm sure he has pissed most record labels off by doing everything on hi own.E

Saw him food the second time in 5 years. GREAT performance and should be in the rock hall especially since some of the inductees have no business being considered rock 'n' roll

Here we are at Jan. 2022. Joe has come along way from the first post here from 2009. I have been a fan since I first heard him play in 2005 and his style jumped out at me. His music has grown by leaps and bounds since then. When Joe plays, it seems like his soul is coming through his fingers onto the strings and out as some of the most amazing music I have ever heard in all my years of listening to R&B artists. It shows he is able to be eligible in 2026 for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, the masses have now caught up to him and he is a big hit and sought after with all his concerts, Now he is up, in 2022, with another award nomination, this time for "Royal Tea" at the Grammy's. I hope he will be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2026, since I am not getting any younger and want to see him awarded this honor before I become a blip in this adventure we call life. Keep Rockin' the Blues.

I have seen Joey B 4 times,and plan on seeing him again.
Was lucky enough to see him twice,in the front row.
First time was in Providence RI. Joe always gives a speech midway through his perfomances.
Loved his speech about "Who the F--K is Joe Bonamassa!!!!
Also loved his speech in Atlantic City,about how lucky he was at The Wheel of Fortune.(NOT)
Second time i saw him in front row,was at The Capital Theatre in Port Chester NY. Again,fabulous show. On his game,even
on a Monday night.
Two other times at The Beacon and in Philly
Love the fact that he is on stage,at 8:00 PM sharp!!
If anyone has never scene him perform. I highly recommend you do.
He plays around 7 different Guitar's in his performance. Rocks everyone of them!!!
Definitely a Future Hall of Famer for sure

I have seen Joe 3 times in 5 years. Most recent in St. Augustine Fl. I will be seeing him next Wednesday in Pensacola, Fl. for the 4th time. He is one of the top guitar players I have ever seen and would be a shame if he does get inducted into the R&RHOF. I mean for a kid to be touring with BB King at the age of 13 speaks volumes.

I discovered Joe B as a Senior when I got into the blues at my new stage of life. I saw him perform in Riverside Ca. He plays a mighty quitar He reminds of of the late Stevie Ray But I think his blues are better He is so prolific and I love every Song. He should be voted in the RHF even though he doesn't play rock Their are others like BB Kong and Stevie Ray Vauhan
