Born in Rhode Island, Duke Robillard is widely regarded as American blues guitar royalty. Duke was a founder of the band Roomful of Blues which remains a mainstay of the roots scene in the US.
Duke is an encyclopaedia of guitar styles, from his grasp of T-Bone Walker’s approach to his command of swinging blues and even to straight-ahead jazz, having recorded with the great Scott Hamilton. His command of blues language is exemplary and you’ll learn a lot from studying his style.
