Nació en Utica, New York en 1977. Desde muy niño vivió el blues como algo natural. A los 4 años recibió como regalo su primera guitarra y a los siete era capaz de tocar temas de Jimi Hendrix. Con 12 años ya fue telonero de BB.King y al acabar el concierto dijo del joven Joe: Este chico tiene un potencial increïble.
A diferencia de otros músicos de blues norteamericanos, las influencias de Joe Bonamassa se encuentran principalmente en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda. El mismo declaró que los tres discos que tuvieron mayor influencia en su forma de tocar fueron: John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers con Eric Clapton (el álbum Beano), Rory Gallagher 's Tour de Irlanda y Goodbye de Cream
Pocos bluesmen hacen llorar la guitarra como Joe Bonamassa. Si añadimos su voz desgarrada y potente, las baladas que interpreta ponen la piel de gallina. Escuchando “If Heartaches Were Nickels” o “Stop” la palabra sentimiento se muestra en todo su significado.
Son imprescindibles discos como Blues de Luxe (2003), You & Me (2006) y, para mi el mejor, The Ballad of John Henry (2009)

"If Heartaches Were Nickels"
I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me, baby
I know I still couldn't make you stay
Couldn't make you stay
You know about the high cost of loving
But someday, someday
You're gonna have to pay
Gonna have to pay
Oh, a woman like you needs fine things
And I knew it from the start
And I don't have much to offer
Just this old broken heart, hey baby
Just this old broken heart
But if heartaches were nickels
I wouldn't be here crying in the dark
If wine and pills were hundred dollar
bills, I might keep you satisfied
And if broken dreams were limousines
I might take you for a ride
And all I can do is think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Yes, if heartaches were nickels
I'd be the richest fool alive
If wine and pills were hundred dollar
bills, I might keep you satisfied
Oh if broken dreams were limousines
I might take you for a ride
But all I can do is think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Oh, if heartaches were nickels
I'd be the richest fool alive
I'd be the richest fool alive
