Bob Malone
“Pulsating, roaring keyboard work that grabs you and shakes you until you cry for mercy”
Keyboard Magazine
Called a “keyboard wizard” by The New Yorker Magazine, singer/songwriter/pianist Bob Malone has amassed a loyal international fan-base through twenty-five years of touring and nine critically acclaimed album releases. He’s played keyboards for John Fogerty since 2011, has been a session player for artists such as Ringo Starr while his film & TV work includes The Grinch, NCIS New Orleans, Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight and more. Along with the best of his catalog of bluesy rockers and cathartic piano ballads, Bob’s live shows feature classic anthems by Fleetwood Mac, The Band, CCR, Bob Dylan and others transformed into foot-stomping displays of keyboard pyrotechnics. MusicRiot UK says “His solo work pulls in elements from classical, soul, blues, rock, funk and jazz into a glorious fusion that’s pure Bob Malone.”
His pedigree as one of the finest singer/pianists on the international scene is undoubted, with regular appearances at prestigious Clubs and Festivals across the US, Europe and even China! He’s also been featured twice at WWOZ Piano Night in New Orleans, where the New Orleans Times-Picayune praised the “the rollicking Big Easy spirit that informs his piano epiphanies.” Bob’s last four albums, including his latest (“Good People”), have been in the top-10 on the Roots Music Report radio rock and blues charts, #1 on the IBBA UK Blues Chart, and his piano-driven take on Fleetwood Mac's “Oh Well” is still on the SiriusXM Bluesville Top-50 Most Heard chart a year after its release.
Bob is joined by a standout band-Julian Burdock-guitar, Paul Carmichael-bass & Daniele Antenucci-drums, along with Bob's very own backing singers, "The Malonettes", Trysette Butler & Celeste Butler. Don’t miss this spectacular performer as he returns to the 606 for his only UK show!
"Malone…whacks listeners’ ears to attention with the skill he has honed over a lifetime of playing blues, soul and rock ‘n roll, reminding us that real blues music comes not from the instruments but from the feeling behind each note" Blues Rock Review
