About this Event
Some musicians win awards. Then there are the very few who have awards named after them. Terry Robb – hailed as a blues guitar virtuoso and one of the finest acoustic guitarists on the international scene – is one of the latter. The Vancouver-born, Portland-based bluesman took home the Muddy Award for Best Acoustic Guitar so many times that the Cascade Blues Association finally broke down and attached his name to the trophy permanently. Recognition for his artistry doesn't stop there.
The Oregon Music Hall of Famer has been praised by The Blues Foundation, Rolling Stone, Acoustic Guitar, Down Beat, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar, Living Blues and Oprah’s O Magazine, extolling his talents as a finger-picker, singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He's toured the country with Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, Robin Trower, and John Fahey, appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, dazzled the crowd at Portland Trail Blazers games, collaborated with the Oregon Symphony, and had his work featured in Game of Thrones.
During his multi-decade run in the spotlight, he's shown himself to be a master of nearly every blues style and technique imaginable. Robb's recordings have been praised by critics and musicians on the international stage. His original tunes draw on influences as varied as country blues to Coltrane, ragtime to Hendrix, and Americana to American Primitivism. His recordings are nominated, award winning and place high on prestigious playlists and recording charts.
Said Dan Forte of Vintage Guitar magazine., “In Terry Robb’s hands, it not only makes perfect sense, it makes perfect blues sense.”
