Blues Legend Joe Bonamassa Announces Wedding Date: “The Best Gig of My Life”
June 2025 — Music & Lifestyle News
After years of touring the world and capturing hearts with his fiery guitar solos and soulful voice, blues-rock icon Joe Bonamassa has officially announced a new and very personal milestone: his wedding date.
The 47-year-old musician revealed via a heartfelt social media post that he and longtime partner Isabelle Hartley, a music journalist and vintage vinyl collector, will tie the knot on September 27, 2025, in a private ceremony set to take place in Nashville, Tennessee.
💍 A Match Made in Music Heaven
Bonamassa and Hartley have kept their relationship relatively low-key, though fans caught glimpses of their connection during the guitarist’s European tour, where Isabelle was often seen backstage and sharing moments on social media.
In his announcement, Bonamassa wrote:
“After years of chasing songs, shows, and soundchecks, I’ve finally found the rhythm that makes life whole. Isabelle, I can’t wait to call you my wife. September 27th… the best gig of my life is coming.”
🎸 Wedding with a Musical Twist
Sources close to the couple say the ceremony will be an intimate affair with family, close friends, and a few legendary musicians in attendance. The guest list is rumored to include blues greats and rock collaborators, with a live jam session expected during the reception.
“It’s going to be more blues club than ballroom,” joked a friend of the couple. “Joe wouldn’t have it any other way.”
🎤 Fans and Friends Celebrate
Reactions from the music world were swift and joyful:
•Beth Hart, longtime collaborator: “Couldn’t be happier for Joe. She’s a gem and he’s lucky—though we all know she’s just as lucky!”
•Kenny Wayne Shepherd tweeted: “Wishing Joe and Isabelle nothing but love, harmony, and killer licks for life.”
•Fans around the globe flooded the announcement post with congratulations, many saying they’ve “never seen him smile this much.”
🥂 A New Chapter Begins
While Bonamassa continues to tour and work on his upcoming album (rumored to be titled “Echoes of the Delta”), the fall wedding marks a new personal chapter for the bluesman who’s spent over two decades on the road.
“It’s rare to see someone who’s given so much to music finally find their own song,” said a close friend. “Joe’s found his melody—and it’s beautiful.”
