Joe Bonamassa closed out a two-day fishing retreat at Tranquility Bay this week, then teased fans with plans for “many different hats and surprises” as he heads to London. The blues-rock guitarist shared a sun-soaked snap of his catch alongside a heartfelt shout-out to guides Jack, Mitch and John from @callionfishing.
A Love For Angling
A longtime fishing enthusiast, Bonamassa’s getaway wasn’t his first rod-and-reel adventure. In an earlier post (@callionfishing), he simply captioned “Gone Fishin! @callionfishing 🎣🐠,” underscoring his offstage passion. His latest shot shows him grinning against a tropical backdrop, guitar emoji included, confirming this excursion doubled as downtime and a source of creative recharge.
Setting Sail For London
His Instagram sign-off—“So long Tranquility Bay. Off to London for a big summer of many different hats and surprises”—has fans buzzing about what’s next. While specific dates haven’t been announced, Bonamassa has a history of sold-out runs at London’s Royal Albert Hall and appearances at UK festivals. With 15 solo studio albums under his belt and collaborations ranging from B.B. King to modern jam sessions, he’s expected to mix guitar showcases with special guest spots.
According to his official discography, Bonamassa released his debut album at age 23 and became one of the youngest musicians to tour with B.B. King. Over the past two decades, he’s become known for virtuosic live performances and a deep catalog of blues standards and original compositions.
Fans Await Summer Surprises
Though Joe didn’t reveal exact venues, his tease about “different hats and surprises” hints at everything from intimate club shows to possible festival headlining slots. His UK plans follow a spring release of his latest live recording, and he’s often remarked on how travel and new locales fuel his songwriting.
With guitar in tow, Bonamassa’s London stint could also include in-store appearances, pop-up Q&A sessions or collaborations with British blues acts. His social feed suggests he values both intimate fan encounters and large-scale spectacles—qualities that have earned him a devoted following across Europe.
Whether he’s sharpening his tone backstage or swapping fishing tales on the pier, Joe Bonamassa’s blend of musical prowess and genuine curiosity keeps fans hooked. As he trades sandy shores for the London lights, one thing is certain: the summer promises a fresh catch of shows and stories.
