Description
Carved into the bedrock of Colorados majestic Rocky Mountains, the famed amphitheatre sets the stage for Bonamassas fiery delivery of bluesy guitar-wailing and horn-filled tunes honouring the two Blues greats. Playing to a sold-out crowd of 9,000 fans, this marks the biggest show of Bonamassas career, a major milestone for the bluesman.
Unlike any Bonamassa show before, Muddy Wolf marks the start of a tribute concert series that will display a different band and catalogue of material that will vary from Bonamassas music as a solo artist. For Muddy Wolf, songs were carefully selected from the catalogues of Howlin Wolf, one of Chicagos most influential bluesmen, known for his deep, scratchy voice, and Muddy Waters, considered the father of modern Chicago blues.
Muddy Waters was a major inspiration for the British blues explosion of the 1960s, a genre that has heavily influenced Bonamassas original music throughout his career.
The concert features a selection of songs from each artist, followed by a 30-minute set of songs from Bonamassas own extensive catalogue, plus a line-up of players different from Bonamassas touring band, dubbed the Muddy Wolf Band which includes Anton Fig (drums), Michael Rhodes (bass), Reese Wynans (piano, Hammond organ), Lee Thornburg (trumpet, horn arrangements), Ron Dziubla (saxophone), Nick Lane (trombone), Mike Henderson (harmonica), and Kirk Fletcher (guitar).
