**The three-time GRAMMY-nominated guitarist and 25x Billboard chart-topper Joe Bonamassa
has released a mind-blowing live rendition of “Mind’s Eye,” a standout track from
his most recent studio album ‘Time Clocks.’ Featured on ‘Tales Of Time,’ his sprawling
and expansive live concert film and album shot at the breathtaking Red Rocks Amphitheatre
in Colorado, the psychedelic influences of the song were augmented by the stunning
visual backdrop produced by the iconic Kevin Shirley, serving to highlight the beauty
of the music. _Tales Of Time _is set to release April 14th via J&R Adventures in
CD/DVD, CD/BR, vinyl, and digital formats.**

The live video captures a stratospheric performance by the blues-rock titan, as 
his virtuoso guitar style and unique technique and flair elevate the evening to 
an almost heavenly high.

“The song has a very Pink Floyd feel,” commented **Roy Weisman,** CEO of Bonamassa’s
J&R Adventures label, upon the song’s original release. “The whole ‘Time Clocks’
record is about a journey, and ‘Mind’s Eye’ gives you a fun glimpse of what could
be swimming around inside someone’s mind.”

“This live show represents our most progressive and largest production to date, 
focusing on my most ambitious studio album to date,” **adds Bonamassa**. “My band
was a force of nature on this show, and it truly was a special night.”

“Mind’s Eye” soars to a whole new level on the Red Rocks stage. Bonamassa is deeper
water than he has ever been here, combining psychedelic influences, intensely personal
lyrics, and his always-impressive guitar work. The band behind him burns with a 
cool, blue flame and drives Joe higher and higher. The stage production is an added
bonus and makes the performance complete. Want to know why Bonamassa is the king?
Listen once and you’ll get it.

Cited by _Guitar World_ as “arguably the world’s biggest blues guitarist,” Bonamassa
is known for taking risks and venturing into uncharted territory throughout his 
wide-ranging career. ‘Time Clocks’ marked his most raw, rocking studio album yet,
with American Songwriter sharing, “Bonamassa pushes into fresh territory while staying
within a blues-based framework,” and “there is more than enough proof in this sprawling
set that Bonamassa doesn’t intend to rest on his laurels or take his star status
in the blues-rock genre for granted.”

The release of “Mind’s Eye” coincides with the launch of Bonamassa’s U.S. Spring
Tour 2023, which kicked off in Charleston, West Virginia this week. The Spring tour
will conclude with Bonamassa’s Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea VIII, set for March
13-17, departing from Miami, Florida to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The festival
line-up includes legendary artists like Little Feat, Dion, Bobby Rush, Robert Randolph
Band, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Jimmy Vivino, and more.

**KTBA at Sea** is one of the largest fundraisers for Bonamassa’s **Keeping The 
Blues Alive Foundation**, aiding in its mission to promote music education by providing
grants and resources to schools and musicians in need. Bonamassa also just announced**“
Keeping the Blues Alive presents: Joe Bonamassa & Friends,”** a special two-night
performance run with **Styx** and **Don Felder** at Northwell Health at Jones Beach
Theater on Saturday, August 12th and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Sunday,
August 13th.

Bonamassa and his long-time manager Roy Weisman recently launched Journeyman LLC,
a full-service artist management, record label, concert promotion, and marketing
company that builds awareness for independent artists worldwide. Journeyman provides
the infrastructure needed to jumpstart the careers of exceptional independent artists,
who are too often overlooked by the major labels or concert promoters while circumventing
the resistance of typical “gatekeepers” who don’t support indie acts. “I wanted 
to take what I’ve had to learn the hard way to create a company that could make 
navigating this process a little easier,” Bonamassa explains.
