Barrelhouse Bob Page - Smokin' 88's

Originally from Maine, this remarkable stride/boogie-woogie piano player is completely self-taught. Bob has emerged as one of the truly fine players of his time, and is one of a rare breed of piano players. Known for his heavy left hand rhythms that were trademarks of the “Barrelhouse Era”, Bob has performed with many legendary artists such as the late Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Dave Mason, Tom Rush, John Hammond and The Georgia Satellites, where his fingers burned up the 88 keys. This is definitely for those who seek a rollicking, good time. Bob blends sophistication with a down-home feeling, creating a style of music that’s distinctively his own.
