Alex Voysey is one of the most exciting artists on the current UK Blues scene with a core following built on the reputation of exhilarating and virtuosic live performances and phenomenal musicianship. His blues band brings together four stunning musicians to reimagine the genius of Blues Titan, Joe Bonamassa.
A Bonamassa superfan, Alex has been inspired by Joe since he was a teenager and not only has the playing capability to emulate this legend, but also the nerd knowledge to ensure it is done right!
This energy-filled tribute brings together Bonamassa’s greatest material of the last two decades blended with Alex’s own personal style of virtuosity, exceptional improvisation and contemporary blues mastery.
Expect to hear all your Bonamassa favourites including ‘Sloe Gin’, ‘The Ballad of John Henry’, ‘Athens to Athens’, ‘Woke Up Dreaming’, ‘Dustbowl’, ‘A Conversation with Alice’ , Stop and many, many more.
Alex’s new album ‘Blues In Isolation’ reached the prestigious number one slot in the IBBA charts in May 2024, ‘an album full of stunning guitar virtuosity’ Blues In Britain.

Co-produced by Paul Long (Catfish/BB King/BBC Radio 2) and drummer Paul Arthurs it launched to a sold-out Cheltenham Playhouse and is packed with engaging, complex and memorable material that has justifiably attracted 5 star reviews: ‘It’s one thing to have guitar playing skills to burn. It’s entirely another to have the wisdom to use them appropriately, but players like Alex treat their skills like a top end sports car so his solos are perfect, saving the hot stuff for all the right places’. Blues Matters Magazine, July 2024
Nominated as one of only 5 bands to take part in this year’s prestigious UK Blues Challenge, recent highlights have also included their debut at the legendary Soho Pizza Express jazz club and headlining at the Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival in 2023, with sold-out debut shows at Swanage Blues Festival, Old Bush Blues Festival, Diseworth Blues Club, Waterside Arts, Sale and Skipton Town Hall more recently and appearances all over the country in 2024. ‘The Alex Voysey Blues Band’s performance on Tuesday night was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment they took to the stage it was evident that this band is something special’ Jace Media Music, Tuesday Night Music Club July 2024
