Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea V is a cruise to the Grand Cayman Islands of the Caribbean that consists of live performances from Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and many other prolific Blues artists.

The cruise is put together by the Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation, founded by Joe Bonamassa himself. The Foundation fuels the passion of music by providing funding and scholarships for kids and teachers who want to learn Blues music but simply don’t have the resources needed.
