**Since all of his concerts and tours have been canceled, Joe Bonamassa invites 
you to an online concert to give fans a chance to hear him during these downturned
times. It is a so-called pay-per-view concert that can be purchased in the form 
of several types of packages with different additions of merchandise and goods as
desired.**

The concert will be recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. In The Ryman Auditorium, Joe
Bonamassa tells the phone in an interview with Bluesnews. The Ryman Auditorium is
a legendary venue in the capital of country music that is also known as the home
arena of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974, the cradle of country music.

– Even though the place takes almost 2500 spectators, it will be completely without
the audience, since the rules change from day to day, Bonamassa says. – Instead,
pictures of people will be placed in the seats. Pictures of people who have donated
money to help us artists survive. It will be a great experience in the middle of
all the hell, Joe promises in view of the Covid19 situation that is ravaging the
whole world. And outlines an exciting playlist for the concert.

– We will play all the songs from the upcoming new album «Royal Tea», song by song
in the same sequence as on the album. Then we take a break and then play songs from“
A New Day Yesterday” which came out 20 years ago and was my debut album. I make 
them with the “voice” I have developed into something completely different in these
20 years, and which makes the album a new experience for me too. And we’re making
these new recordings, which are also coming out these days as a 20th Anniversary
album release, to honor producer and legend Tom Dowd, who I got to work with back
then 20 years ago. The legend who saw something in the unfinished boy that I did
not see myself at that time, the blues rock star points out soberly.

The online concert is organized in collaboration with the Keeping the Blues Alive
Foundation, and $ 1 of each ticket will go to Joe Bonamassa’s project “Fueling Musicians”,
which has so far raised more than $ 295,000 and has supported 163 disadvantaged 
musicians during the corona era.

Tickets are sold in many different varieties. A standard ticket costs $ 20, but 
fans can also purchase a Deluxe Live in Concert Worldwide package for $ 35 which
includes the online concert, digital version of Royal Tea and a year of access to
Bonamassa’s on-demand offerings such as includes 17 different concerts with Joe 
Bonamassa, Black Country Communion and Rock Candy Funk Party.

It is also possible to buy a VIP ticket. Everyone with a VIP ticket will have their
picture printed out and placed on a seat in the Ryman Auditorium. In addition, they
will be sent a picture of the poster together with Bonamassa. The names of all VIP
buyers will also appear in the caption on the DVD made from the concert.
