MANILA, Philippines - Tomorrow, Sept. 25, marks the first in the local scene: The concert of blues guitar legend Joe Bonamassa that will go onstage for a special, one-night-only concert at One Esplanade, Mall of Asia Complex at 8 p.m.
Titled An Evening with Joe Bonamassa, The Guitar Event of the Year, the concert is presented by The Roadhouse Manila Bay and Tiger Beer and is supported by Manila Times, Business Mirror, Jack TV, 2nd Avenue, RJ 100, RJ TV, RX 93.1 and Easy Rock 96.3.
The UK-based blues rock legend is one of the world’s greatest guitar players and has bagged major awards and citations, including Breakthrough Artist of the Year Award at the UK’s prestigious Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards and Best Blues Guitarist in Guitar Player Magazine’s 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards for the third consecutive year.
