Joe Bonamassa

Joe Bonamassa at Murat Theatre at Old National Centre

Joe Bonamassa has made the blues both a lifelong craft and a mission worth bringing to the stage. When he brings his blues-rock guitar to the Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on February 15, 2027, you get more than a night of notes. You get a chance to see a player whose whole career points back to one idea: this music matters, and it deserves to be heard live.

That commitment runs deep. Bonamassa hosts programming on SiriusXM's Bluesville channel. He founded the nonprofit Keeping the Blues Alive, along with its music-festival cruises. He also works as a record producer. Few artists put that much energy into keeping a genre moving forward, and it gives this Monday night concert a sense of purpose. You're not just watching a performer hit a stage. You're stepping into the world of someone who has built a life around the blues and wants to share it.

And then there's the guitar. His interest in vintage guitars and equipment is part of his recorded and performing story, which should appeal to anyone who loves tone, craft and the thrill of a player fully in command. His résumé includes Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall and Red Rocks, and now Indianapolis gets its turn on the calendar at 8:00 PM. Don't leave it to a recording.
