Black Country Communion, the renowned supergroup featuring Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath), Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Billy Idol), has released professionally filmed footage from their recent past live performances, including material from 2024’s Keeping The Blues Alive At Sea cruise, which journeyed from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico, in March 2024. The clip is clocking in almost 2 hours long and can be watched below.
In June 2025, the band is set to embark on a European tour, featuring headline shows in Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, and the Czech Republic, along with appearances at festivals like Sweden Rock and Poland’s Rock Legends. This tour supports their fifth studio album, V, which was released in June 2024.
Resonating with the band’s signature fusion of hard rock and soul-stirring blues, V stands as a testament to Black Country Communion‘s growth and mutual admiration, symbolizing their commitment to producing music that is authentic, heartfelt, and reflective of their shared experiences and vast musical expertise.
“This band allows me to embrace all of it,” commented Bonamassa. “It’s funny because the four musicians up here — everybody brings a certain thing to this that’s very specific. Every part is irreplaceable. For me, it’s about playing old-style rock guitar, loud.”
Hughes added: “We make music for the five of us. We make music that we love and like, hoping it registers with everyone else. We don’t make it for record companies, or this guy or that guy.” Sherinian credits producer Kevin Shirley for keeping the band’s creative energies focused, adding, “We’ve got to give Kevin Shirley massive credit because he controls. He keeps it all flowing.”
