When Bonamassa's Live at the Greek Theatre became the #1 Blues album on the Billboard chart last year it marked the unprecedented 17th time he had top spot. "Greek" also landed him his second Grammy Nomination. A touring monster who averages over 100 shows a year, Joe's progression as showman grows stronger every year. After sold out shows at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheater and NYC's Radio City Music Hall, he fulfilled one of his lifelong dreams last year with two intimate acoustic performances at New York City's prestigious Carnegie Hall that where filmed for a DVD and Public TV release for later this year.

Located on the campus of Boise State University, the 2,037-seat Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts is Idaho's premier performing arts center. Nestled on the banks of the Boise River, with a panoramic view of the city, parks and foothills, the Center's 10-story stage house is a recognizable fixture of the Capitol's picturesque skyline. The realization of a life-long dream of Harry W. Morrison, and championed by his widow, Velma, the Center opened its doors on April 7, 1984. Today the Center is recognized as a major destination for arts and culture, annually hosting hundreds of live entertainment and arts education offerings that serve to enrich the lives of patrons of all ages. As a Boise State affiliate, the Center is a non-profit organization supported by ticket sales, facility rentals, donations and the generous support of the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation, Inc.
