Los Angeles based Bob Malone plays keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty, and continues a long running, successful solo career. His sound is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own. In addition to his Fogerty band duties, he plays over 100 solo shows a year across the globe, and has played with or opened for Bruce Springsteen, Rickie Lee Jones, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Dr. John and many others.
His own music is heard regularly on Dr. Phil, Entertainment Tonight, and the Rachael Ray show. Bob Malone's six CDs have earned Top-20 spots on The Living Blues Roots Music Report and Earshot radio charts, and are played on stations worldwide, including Sirius/XM's Bluesville, and NPR favorites Car Talk, Acoustic Cafe, and Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour. His newest Mojo EP was released in the UK to rave reviews in the summer of 2014, and the Mojo Deluxe album was released worldwide in early 2015.
Opening act will be Rock-Americana artist Mike Miz. From northeast Pennsylvania, Mike is known as a skillful and well rounded master of both acoustic and electric guitar. His sound is directly impacted by the coal mining region of Pennsylvania and the songs evoke the rustic tones and imagery you would expect from the region and its cultural heritage.
