Introducing Bob Malone Rock n Roll, Blues n Soul.

What have John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen got in common? BOB MALONE!

Bob is one of the most exiting blues artists touring today.

Los Angeles based Bob Malone plays keyboards with Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame legend John Fogerty, and continues a long running and very successful solo career. His sound is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of blues, rock, and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and soulful vocals unique to Bob. He headlines over 100 shows a year in the US, Europe, Australia and Asia, and has played with or opened for Bruce Springsteen, Rickie Lee Jones, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Dr. John, Leon Russell and many others.

For 2013 Bob performed at the UK Glastonbury Music Festival, and a month long July tour of Italy. Bob is also a regular at the prestigious WWOZ Piano Night at House of Blues in New Orleans, featured along with piano legends like Marcia Ball and Henry Butler. He is the featured keyboardist on the new John Fogerty album “Wrote A Song For Everyone” where Bob performs on the brand new John Fogerty song, a revamped “Lodi” (recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London) where Fogerty duets with Bob Seger, Miranda Lambert, and Keith Urban.

Bob’s TV appearances with John Fogerty include The Late Show with David Letterman & The View. Bob’s own music is heard regularly on Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight, the Rachel Ray Show, and Bob has also been a twice-featured performer on The Price Is Right.

Bob Malone’s six CDs have earned Top-20 spots on the Living Blues, Roots Music Report and Earshot radio charts, and are played on stations worldwide, including Sirius/XM’s Bluesville, and NPR favorites Car Talk, Acoustic Café, and Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour. Bob Malone is endorsed by Hammond Organ and Fishman AcousticTransducers. Bob next album release is scheduled for early 2014.

“A keyboard wizard.” The New Yorker

"John Fogerty's five-man backup band was slouch-free, too — with the show-stealer trophy going to a shaggy-haired Bob Malone." Edmonton Journal

“A new peak in what’s been a rather mountainous career, Malone’s latest shows off everything that makes him great and more. Great songs, amazing production and playing, it doesn’t get much better than this.” Filter

Rita Payne at Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall

Rita Payne supported by Danni Nicholls Feb 8 at Kirton In Lindsey.

 

                                         

February 8 Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall

For our first concert of 2014 we are proud to present RITA PAYNE as headliners, and boy are they ready for it. In 2013 they honed their craft playing festivals and many support slots.  In September they opened the new performing arts venue CAST, having written the official anthem for the venue and arranged and planned the opening ceremony.  

As we know from past appearances at Town Hall Live Pete and Rhannon's delicate harmonies work beautifully together and the subtle musical backdrop works in perfect tandem with their vocal interplay and well written lyrics.

For part of the concert they will perform as a five piece , with the addition of violin, double bass and banjo. It will be the first time ever that they have added other instrumentation to their live set.

Opening the evening with a 60 minute set will be Bedford singer songwriter DANNI NICHOLLS, who will just be back from Texas where she has been song writing and performing.  Described as terrific by Bob Harris, she has a rich voice that slips effortlessly between smoky soul and blues, folk pop and alt country.
