Duke Robillard is a bluesman ahead of his time. This Rhode Island native formed his first band, Roomful of Blues, in 1967. As lead guitarist for rockabilly wildman Robert Gordon, he shaped the sounds of the rockabilly revival. His 1980s band Duke Robillard & The Pleasure Kings was way out in front of the jump blues and swing crazes. And in the 1990s and 2000s, Duke Robillard has been a paragon of the bluesman as creative artist, covering a wide swath of territory in his solo releases while collaborating with everyone from Bob Dylan to the legendary Austin band the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Stop by and find out what one of the most fertile minds in the blues is up to now! Duke's new album, "Tales from the Tiki Lounge," was conceived as a tribute to Les Paul and Mary Ford but also encompasses aspects of lounge and so-called bachelor pad music.
