Robert 'Bobby' Grant
16.02.1987
(23yrs old)
Robert (Bobby) is
a blues fanatic through & through. He’s always had a guitar in
his hands since he can remember, but first took to it when he
was around 6/7 years old. He grew up listening to guitar legends
like Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana & Eric Clapton; these guys
made him pickup up the guitar. But it wasn’t until he found his
hero ‘Gary Moore’ when he was about 11, before he took his
guitar playing & music in general more seriously. This led him
to learn more about the blues & discover other blues greats like
BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert King and the mighty Mr Peter Green.
His love for
Classic 60's / 70's Rock shines through in his aggressive but
tasteful playing. Stealing from his mum & dads record collection
when he was kid, Bobby grew up learning from the likes of Led
Zeppelin, Cream, Golden Earring, ACDC, Status Quo, Black
Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Thin Lizzy etc. All in
which, elements show in Bobbys Harder take to the blues in his
song writing.
Recently, Bobby
as discovered modern day blues men such as Keb'Mo, Robert
Randolph and one man in particularly... Joe Bonamassa!
