  • The Duke Robillard Band (Usa) „Indepently Blue” – Cd-Präsentation
    29. März bis 6. April 2014 Eine Veranstaltung der HIGHLIGHT THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND (USA) „INDEPENTLY BLUE” – CD-PRÄSENTATION So, 30. März Kulturfabrik (Stieberstraße 7, 91154 Roth) 20 Uhr, bestuhlt VVK 22,80 €/AK 24 €/ZAC 18,60 € Es führt kein Weg an diesem Gitarristen vorbei. Er spielt fast 200 Gigs im Jahr und mit fast jedermann aus der Topliga des Musikerzirkels. Auch mit Bob Dylan auf dessen „Time Out Of Mind“. Er gründete die legendären Roomful of Blues, die mit Big Joe Turner und Eddie Cleanhead Vinson auf Tour gingen. Egal ob Jazz, Rock, Funk, 50er-Jahre-Chicago-Blues oder Slowblues: Robillard ist unbestritten einer der handwerklich fähigsten Gitarristen der Gegenwart und nun zum ersten Mal in Roth zu erleben. 1948 als Michael Robillard in Rhode Island geboren, zog es den jungen Gitarristen schon früh ins Musikgeschäft. 1967 gründete er mit dem Pianisten Al Copley die erfolgreiche R&B-Combo Roomful of Blues. Nach dreizehn Jahren überließ er seinen Platz dort Ronnie Earl , um Leadgitarrist für Robert Gordon zu werden. Danach war er kurzzeitig Mitglied der Legendary Blues Band . 1981 gründete er die Duke Robillard Band, die sich bald in Duke Robillard & The Pleasure Kings umbenannte. Nachdem die Band 1984 einen Plattenvertrag bei Rounder Records bekam, veröffentlichte sie eine Reihe von Alben und trennte sich 1990 wieder. Im selben Jahr ersetzte Robillard Jimmie Vaughan bei den Fabulous Thunderbirds . Bob Dylan, Jay McShann, Jimmy Witherspoon nahmen Robillards Gitarrenkünste im Studio und auf der Bühne in Anspruch. Seit Mitte der 90er- Jahre ist Robillard vor allem als Solokünstler mit seiner eigenen Band auf Tour und hat über dreißig Platten veröffentlicht, darunter Blueswerke wie „Blues For Modern Man“ (1999) oder „Blue Mood“ (2004).

    B L U E I N K APRIL 2016 Gator By the Bay Brings Musicians Together in Exciting Pairings Now in its 15th year, Gator By the Bay, May 5-8, 2016, has become a wildly popular San Diego festival tradition known for presenting an eclectic mix of musical styles and a fun- filled atmosphere. Wander among the festival’s seven stages and you can listen to everything from authentic Louisiana Cajun and Zydeco music to Chicago and West Coast Blues, from Latin to Rockabilly and Swing. In recent years, Gator By the Bay has also earned a stand-out reputation for bringing together stellar combinations of musicians in innovative mash-up performances, presenting musical groupings you won’t hear anywhere else. This year is no exception. On Saturday, May 7, San Diego’s own multiple gold guitarist Johnny Vernazza will share the Mardi Gras Stage with blues greats Roy Rogers and John Németh. Often lauded as the “Master of the Slide Guitar”, Roy Rogers’ distinctive style is instantly recognizable. He’s shared duets with such greats as John Lee Hooker and Allen Toussaint, and teamed up with the likes of Norton Buffalo and Ray Manzarek. Harmonica virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter John Németh has multiple Blues Music Awards nominations to his name, and his album, ‘Memphis Grease’, won Best Soul Blues Album at the 2015 Blues Music Awards. He has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards 2016 B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award, to be given out on May 5. Other notable combined artists’ performances include Sugaray Rayford, Alabama Mike & the Drop Ins with harmonica master Rick Estrin and harmonica and guitar whiz-kid Jon Atkinson on Friday evening, May 6, and Jon Atkinson with Rick Estrin and Fabulous Thunderbird alumna Kim Wilson on Saturday, May 7.
