Joe Bonamassa is a great example of someone who carved out his own place in the music business and mostly did it the way he wanted, on his terms. He's never had a "HIT" song on the radio. I can't say I've ever heard a single JB song on the radio. Not mainstream radio. His songs just don't fit the formula I guess. In spite of that, several of his studio albums have hit #1 on the sales charts while not having anything on the radio. Those #1 albums hit #1 based on sales figures. With a faithful following, he is able to tour to sold out crowds. And again, without radio hits to support the tours.
His band has the cream of the crop players in it. The best of the best.

He's actually coming to a local venue (35miles or so away) in the new year. His ticket prices are priced on the high side. I'm sure it'll be a good show.

Go to YouTube and search Joe Bonamassa full concert and you'll find several really good shows.
