PHOTOS: Renowned Guitarist Joe Bonamassa Rocks the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles

Rock and roll photographer Jérôme Brunet, the focus of a recent Rock Cellar feature interview about his life and career behind the lens shooting legendary musical acts at concerts all over the map, went to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles this past Sunday night, Aug. 1, to snap some photos of renowned blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa.

Bonamassa and his talented backing band were in town as part of a newly launched tour that saw the guitarist return to the live stage in front of actual fans for the first time in a while, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s also Bonamassa’s first big tour since the October 2020 release of Royal Tea, his new album paying homage to some of his heroes, including Jeff Beck, Cream and Led Zeppelin.

And by all accounts, the show was a great time:

I think I can speak for the rest of the band when I say that everything hurts this morning after a big weekend of shows in California. Having a blast playing music with my friends and family for my friends and family last night @Greek_Theatre 😎👍 pic.twitter.com/a5AJGGu5Vt
