Robin Trower has been heralded as one of the most influential Guitar players to come out of the British Blues Rock scene. Trower spent the early 60’s playing guitar in various London based bands. In 1967, he received his big break when he joined Procol Harum; and remained a member until 1972. After leaving Procol Harum, Trower embarked on his solo career and formed a power trio that transformed him into a celebrated guitar innovator. His early albums share a tough, explosive guitar style mixed with his trademark “soft psychedelia” that made Robin Trower stand out from the rest of the crowd. Robin is known for his inspirational style of soloing, coaxing sounds from his Strat that seem to emanate from beyond this world. To be among those who have experienced Robin performing live is to be forever changed by this masterful Artist as he takes you along with him on one musical masterpiece after another.
Kick off the night with Strange Vine! Strange Vine’s earthy, energetic music is a fusion of blues, psychedelic, and traditional American rock. It’s a sound born of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, from two men who were raised there. Ian Blesse plays drums and Rhodes piano (simultaneously), while Toby Cordova fleshes out the songs with a rotating arsenal of guitars (including one made from a cigar box).
