Unlike most successful blues-rock guitarists, Bonamassa has cited his influences as being British and Irish blues music, rather than American. Bonamassa’s solo début, in 2000, was his Top 10 Blues disc A New Day Yesterday, named after the 1969 Jethro Tull classic. Now this famous guitarist is coming to Jacksonville for a performance at the Florida Theatre on December 3, 2010.
