Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea: The Joe Bonamassa Cruise
Legendary’s Autograph Sessions give you a chance to meet your favorite artists in a very intimate and personal manner. There are two sessions during the week, one for early dining seating passengers, and the other for late seating passengers. Commemorative Posters and Apparel are in the Bluesin’ Bazaar on the ship and are perfect for capturing this multitude of autographs. You’re also invited to bring albums, instruments, photos or other keepsakes for signatures. Twice a year, the blues takes a vacation with the grandfather of all music cruises, the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise (LRBC), one of the largest floating festivals at sea.

It’s an experience that can only be described as Bluesin’®. What’s the best way to cap a wee-hours jam in the Piano Bar? By kicking back with your morning coffee midship with the cool sea breeze blowing through your hair… right? Spotlights have included “Boogie Woogie” Piano Extravaganzas, Harmonica Workshops, Songwriters’ Discussions, Guitar Workshops, Drums & Percussion Gatherings… even New Orleans Cultural Workshops and Storytelling. This all happens well before noon, and much like Legendary’s Pro Jams, it’s not uncommon to see a host of headliners and star sidemen line the stage for a unique introspective on the minds, methods, and techniques behind the Rhythm & Blues genre.
Pre-booking begins Tuesday, July 26 at 11am Central time.

This Mediterranean version of the celebrated floating blues music fest features an impressive lineup of blues performances, movie screenings, autograph sessions, Q&As with musicians, and special acoustic shows. Topping the list is multi Grammy Award-winner Taj Mahal, as the King of this cruise, bringing his experienced Trio, with special guest Roger Glenn on vibes. A real treat was to see Taj doing his Caribbean-based songs while being caressed by Island breezes. Add Buddy Guy, Shemekia Copeland, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Nellie Tiger Travis and real-deal Chicago Blues was on da boat! The bayou was represented by the swamp boogie of Kenny Neal with his talented family band including nephew Tyree, Tab Benoit, The Legendary Ils Sont Partis Band and Jon Cleary and The Absolute Gentlemen, Vasti Jackson and Charlie Musslewhite.
Proceeds from the cruise benefit Keeping the Blues Alive, a nonprofit for music students and educators. Immerse yourself in the emotive and lyrical hymns of one of America's greatest musical styles on a blues theme cruise -- a type of music theme cruise that's slowly gaining momentum among fans of the genre. These veritable floating music festivals typically feature dozens of blues performers and sometimes even hundreds of at-sea shows, with blues greats galore (think Buddy Guy, Tab Benoit and Keb' Mo') as well as up-and-coming stars onboard. You'll likely get some face time with your favorites, as autograph signings and meet-and-greets with performers are usually on the schedule. Just book early, as popular theme cruises often sell out.
True blues on the deep blue sea
The bands on the ship have a week at sea to share memories, exchange lore from the road, kick back… and join each other on stage. Blues Cruisers have witnessed dream jam sessions and combos on these ships over the years, and the memories just keep building. If you want to experience the “Real Deal”, take time out to find Kenny Neal.

The guitarist recruited some of his talented siblings to form the Neal Brothers Blues Band up in Toronto (brother Noel later played bass behind James Cotton; five other Neal brothers also play in various bands) before returning stateside. In 1987, Kenny Neal cut his debut LP for Florida producer Bob Greenlee, an updated swamp feast initially released by Kingsnake Records as Bio on the Bayou. The following year, Alligator Records signed Neal and reissued the debut under the title Big News from Baton Rouge!! Neal’s sizzling guitar work, sturdy harp, and gravelly, aged-beyond-his-years vocals served him well, and he cut four albums for Alligator Records between 1989 and 1994. An acclaimed 1991 stint on Broadway in a production of Mule Bone found him performing acoustic versions of Langston Hughes’ poetry set to music by Taj Mahal.
Blues industry promoter Roger Naber invites you to "go bluesin'" on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, a sailing featuring five stages, more than 100 scheduled shows and dozens of blues performers on the lineup. These fully chartered blues theme cruises typically set sail twice a year, and a variety of upcoming itineraries, including Mexican Riviera and Caribbean, are on offer. Joe Bonamassa's annual blues theme cruises to the Caribbean are branching out to Continental ports.
One of the strongest modern proponents of Baton Rouge swamp blues, Kenny Neal is a second-generation southern Louisiana bluesman who is cognizant of the region’s venerable blues tradition and imaginative enough to steer it in fresh directions. His dad, harpist Raful Neal, was a Baton Rouge blues mainstay whose pals included Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo (the latter gave three-year-old Kenny his first harmonica). Adored by her fans, her artistry shines through her dazzling keyboards, soul-stirring saxophone performances, smokey and soulful vocals, and her exceptional songwriting prowess.
