  • 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).

  • George Lesiw Recognized As One of the Most Prolific and Versatile
    George Lesiw Recognized as one of the most prolific and versatile jazz performers on the Connecticut music scene, guitarist George Lesiw has made his surge a topic of conversation and interest amongst the Northeast audience. Lesiw combines the true improvisational essence and language of jazz, the daring electricity of rock-fusion and the gritty fire of blues. Known as a bandleader and sideman for some time now, Lesiw initiates a spark of rock-fusion with a combination of the emotional fire of the blues sprinkled with funk, soul and R& B, making him a desired performer in music venues across the state and beyond. Whether playing a straight-ahead jazz gig with his quartet at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut or wailing his blues with his new blues project, Black Snake Boots, at Connecticut’s premier blues clubs, Black- Eyed Sally’s in Hartford, or playing original jazz fusion music on the main stage of the Long Beach Jazz Festival in California, one thing remains constant – Lesiw exemplifies a passion, virtuosity, versatility and fire to his music like no other. His most recent performances include a duo residency with Lee-Ann Lovelace at Crave, a Latin fusion restaurant and night club in Ansonia. Once a month, he leads the popular blues jam at Café Nine in New Haven. Twice a month, he leads the jazz jam at Bar 140 in Shelton, Connecticut. Lesiw was also the main guitarist with “A Nordic Sound Jazz Orchestra” (2016-17). In 2017, his band “Black Snake Boots” was a finalist at the 2017 Connecticut Blues Challenge.

  • BIOGRAPHY Rudy Rotta, a Devil of a Guitarist Now Famous Throughout The
    BIOGRAPHY Rudy Rotta, a devil of a guitarist now famous throughout the blues world, served his musical apprenticeship in Lucerne (Switzerland) where his family moved in the early 60s. Aged 18, already with an enormous blues culture and a technique to match, he returned to Italy, where he began the tough life "on the road" of the bluesman. After some compromises and doubts, he strung together an almost endless series of live performances as a promising frontman. His aggressive but disciplined style, the sheer speed of his fingers over the six strings and his singing talent soon made him famous outside Italy, playing at the leading European festivals. Guitarist, singer and excellent songwriter, he is now considered by the specialist European and US press one of the best bluesmen in the world. Together with his phenomenal band, he was a great success (as US commentators have reported) on the ULTIMATE R&B CRUISE of the Mediterranean, in the company of artists of the caliber of Luther Allison, Buckwheat Zyde-co, Katie Webster, John Mooney e John Mayall (who was so impressed he played piano from start to finish at a concert given by Rudy and his band). This led to the prestigious invitation to the Kansas City Blues Festival together with Al Green, Taj Mahal and Brian Setzer, in front of twenty thousand adoring US fans, who voted him Europe's top act. Rudy then went on to record live in Kansas City at the Grand Emporium, the top blues venue in the USA, releasing the CD "Live in Kansas City" (Acoustic Music Records).
