Billy Gibbons

Billy Gibbons, 70, is the lead guitarist and lead singer of ZZ Top if his beard didn’t give it away. Early in his career, Gibbons founded The Moving Sidewalks, which served as an opening act for The Jimi Hendrix Experience, allowing him to become close friends with Jimi. Billy Gibbons’ genius is no doubt responsible for ZZ Top’s Texas blues boogie sound, which is now selling out concerts all over the world.

Joe Bonamassa

Here’s why Joe is on this list. Joe Bonamassa famously opened for B.B. King when he was just 12 years old. B.B. King said that when he first started playing, the audience fell silent for a moment as they realized it was the child who was making those sounds. However, once the truth was revealed, the audience went insane, and Bonamassa has been performing in front of large crowds ever since.
