Grammy-nominated blues-rock guitar icon Joe Bonamassa will make a return trip to the State Theatre, 453 Northampton St., Easton, on April 24. Show time is 8 p.m.

Hailed as one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Bonamassa has almost single-handedly redefined the blues-rock genre and brought it into the mainstream. He is backed by a stellar band, including Anton Fig (drums), Michael Rhodes (bass) and Reese Wynans (piano, Hammond organ).

By exceeding his own high artistic goals, Bonamassa has shattered all expectations with his latest release and has reached new audiences — no mean feat when you consider his track record of hits, which includes 16 #1 Billboard Blues Albums (more than any other artist in history).

In 2014, he received his first-ever Grammy nomination (for Best Blues Album) for “Seesaw,” his second collaboration with blues singing star Beth Hart.
