Blues-rock virtuoso Joe Bonamassa and GRAMMY Award-winning band Train are excited to announce the release of their new single, a powerful cover of 38 Special’s classic hit “Hold On Loosely.” This electrifying collaboration is the result of a shared passion for music and mutual admiration between the two artists. Train frontman Pat Monahan’s distinctive vocals harmonize perfectly with Joe’s masterful guitar riffs, breathing new life into the iconic song. Pat Monahan appears courtesy of Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
The collaboration came about organically, as both Joe and Pat were eager to work together. Joe’s exceptional guitar skills and Pat’s renowned vocal talent blend seamlessly in this track, delivering a fresh yet faithful rendition of “Hold On Loosely.” Reflecting on the project, Pat Monahan shared, “I’ve been a fan of Joe’s for a long time. He’s an incredible guitar player, and from my little bit of time with him, I can say he’s a great human. That, along with my love for 38 Special, this was a great project to be a part of. Thanks for thinking of me, Joe. Hope I did it justice.”
This collaboration also highlights the artists’ connection through their successful music festival cruises with Sixthman—Train’s “Sail Across the Sun” and Joe’s “Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea”—further solidifying their bond and mutual respect in the music industry.
The release follows Joe Bonamassa’s latest project, Live at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, marking the 28th time in his career that he’s achieved this milestone and breaking his own record for the most #1 debuts on the chart. Later this summer, Bonamassa will embark on his highly anticipated “Blues Deluxe Tour,” celebrating his seminal albums Blues Deluxe and its chart-topping successor, Blues Deluxe Vol. 2. This 21-city tour will feature an electrifying mix of Bonamassa’s classics and deep tracks performed live for the first time, accompanied by a band of world-class musicians.

Next up, Train is set to premiere a stream of their first-ever performance at the iconic and historic Royal Albert Hall in London, which was filmed with 18 cameras in front of a sold-out crowd in April. Train: Live at Royal Albert Hall brings the band's signature sound and critically-acclaimed catalog of chart-topping smash hits to fans everywhere, including one of their first live performances of new single “Long Yellow Dress.” The spectacular show will premiere globally on Veeps Monday, July 22, 2024 – now on sale – and the band will release an accompanying, new album, Live at Royal Albert Hall, out July 26 – pre-save now. North American fans can also catch Train on the road this summer with REO Speedwagon on their epic co-headlining Summer Road Trip 2024 Tour featuring very special guest Yacht Rock Revue, which kicked off July 8 in Somerset, WI and will travel through 45 cities across North America before wrapping on September 11 in Phoenix, AZ.
