Joe Bonamassa's love of the British Blues is at the heart of his musical inspiration; and, for the first time, is pleased to announce a special homage to the British blues rock guitarists that inspired him - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. "If it wasn't for certain British musicians of the early 1960s, the Blues may well never have exploded into Rock music as we know it today, and indeed may have passed into history," says Bonamassa. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page are some of the greatest guitarists of their time that influenced Joe Bonamassa's career. All three are Yardbirds alumni, and indeed actually all played together at one time in the same band. Jimmy Page went on to form Led Zeppelin, which became the ultimate electric Blues band and both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck became international superstars in their own right. Now, Blues superstar, Joe Bonamassa, will pay tribute to these legends of the British Blues, in a stunning live concert entitled JOE BONAMASSA - BRITISH BLUES EXPLOSION LIVE, which was recorded at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London in July 2016.

As a physician, Dr. Mimi Guarneri hears patients say over and over, "I would gladly give up my wealth just to have back my health." Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease - and despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually. But, while practicing conventional medicine, Dr. Guarneri came to realize that the body has a secret language of healing, and that surgery does not address the root cause of illness. Dr. Guarneri's program, Live Better Now with Mimi Guarneri, MD, translates the science of health, healing and longevity into practical answers to lead viewers to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. She blends modern science and ancient wisdom to offer steps to awaken the healing potential of our bodies. Live Better Now is a comprehensive, step-by-step program that addresses everything from the foods you eat, the relationships you cultivate and the way you work and play, to the amount of stress in your life and how you can transform it. Treating disease after it occurs is not the solution. Dr. Guarneri's philosophy fuses the latest in science and technology with the deeper realization that the human health is more than physical. Macro- and micro-nutrition, supplements, stress management, enhanced resiliency, and spirituality are just a few of the key components to health and longevity. Live Better Now provides the knowledge and guidance necessary to get on the greater path of healing. Board-certified in cardiovascular disease, internal medicine, nuclear cardiology and integrative holistic medicine, Dr. Mimi Guarneri is a founder and the president of the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine.
