Fri, 04 Nov 2011
Joe Bonamassa will continue to host his Keeping The Blues Alive clinics with the next session set to take place in Albany, NY at the Palace Theatre on Wednesday 9th November.
Keeping the Blues Alive 501 (c) is a non-profit organization founded by Bonamassa in which he seeks to promote Blues Music through regularly scheduled school assemblies whilst aiming to create awareness about the Blues and its impact on our culture to the younger generations.
"Securing the future of blues music, and helping its legacy as an original American art form live on, is something to which I am deeply committed. In introducing blues to a younger generation, and hopefully inspiring others to support it and play it, my hope is that the music will remain a living, breathing tradition carried forth by new practitioners all the time," said Bonamassa.
The hour long sessions are designed for students aged 13 - 21 and feature Bonamassa alongside rising stars & more established blues/rock musicians. During the events Joe will also discuss the origins of blues music and his life as a musician as well as field questions from the audience.
