DPAC has about 2,700 seats, which is perfect for an artist like Joe. The acoustic set was intimate, like they were jamming in my living room.
"Internationally renowned guitar superstar Joe Bonamassa will bring his U.S. Fall Tour to DPAC with a brand new show for his fans offering two entirely new and exciting band line-ups with Bonamassa essentially opening for himself. The first set will feature Bonamassa alongside the world music acoustic band from his #1 Billboard acoustic CD and DVD, An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (J&R Adventures). Playing an assortment of rare, vintage, organic and “oddball” instruments, the performers include Gerry O’Connor (Irish guy that played tenor banjo, mandolin, and fiddle), Mats Wester (Swede that played a nyckelharpa) Joe asked Mats WTF that thing was., and Lenny Castro (percussions and anything else that makes noise. No washboards or metal spoons were harmed) who will run through an hour of the signature acoustic performance from Bonamassa’s Vienna show, treating the audience to a gorgeously textured “unplugged” experience. Bonamassa will then shift into electric mode for the second half of the show featuring his regular touring band: Carmine Rojas (bass), Tal Bergman (drums), and new touring keyboardist (and fellow Black Country Communion member) Derek Sherinian played an upright piano during the acoustic set and everything else under full power ."
