Terry Robb Biography
TERRY ROBB BIOGRAPHY TERRY ROBB is praised by Rolling Stone, Vintage Guitar, Down Beat, Acoustic Guitar, Living Blues, Guitar Player, Blues Blast, Guitar World, Blues Matters, Blues Revue, Oprah's O Magazine and countless more esteemed journals, placing him among the top acoustic blues guitarists of our time. His signature fingerpicking style landed him in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and earned him international acclaim from music critics, peers and fans. In his latest album Confessin' My Dues, Robb draws on his deep knowledge of Delta blues, ragtime and swing in 13 original songs ranging from blistering instrumental blues and stunning fingerpicking to soulful singing backed by a powerhouse rhythm section. From country blues to Coltrane, ragtime to Hendrix, Americana to American Primitivism, Confessin’ My Dues will captivate listeners with its melodic and rhythmic invention and musical virtuosity. In his Vintage Guitar review of Confessin’ My Dues, noteworthy music critic Dan Forte writes “Robb demonstrates blues’ expansiveness, and his own versatility, not on a travelog of covers but on an album of originals. And it’s difficult to think of anyone who could pull that off as well… In Terry Robb’s hands, it not only all makes sense, it makes perfect blues sense.” With more than 15 releases under his name, Robb’s award-winning, blues chart-topping discography features collaborations with steel-string guitar icon John Fahey, Maria Muldaur, Eddy “The Chief” Clearwater, Ike Willis and Curtis Salgado. He toured nationally with Buddy Guy, Steve Miller and John Fahey, shared the stage with B.B.
