Bob Malone
makes music for grownups. A timeless sound that is pure
Americana: an intoxicating distillation of uptown blues,
gutbucket New Orleans ragtime stomp, and classic
singer/songwriter pop songcraft, delivered with a wry
lyrical eye for detail, and the ferocious energy of a
great rock and roll piano man. An extraordinarily
charismatic performer and virtuoso musician, he has been
best described in review as "a raconteur of the human
condition." Bob Malone’s songs span the musical spectrum
from full tilt boogie to the seamless melodies of great
ballads that linger like classic standards, all sung
with his one-of-a-kind whiskey-cured voice. A genuine
indie success story, Bob Malone is highlighted along
with Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Keith Richards, and
Harry Connick Jr. among others with a featured essay in
the 2002 HarperCollins book Working Musicians. With four
critically acclaimed CDs and a busy touring schedule,
Bob has established an impressive international
fan-base, extensive radio airplay and solid record
sales. Bob tours nonstop, performing both as a headliner
and as an opener for acts like The Neville Brothers,
Rev. Al Green, Boz Scaggs, Manhattan Transfer, and Vonda
Shepard, to name a few. He has been featured on
syndicated NPR shows Car Talk, Acoustic Cafe, Woodsongs
Old Time Radio Hour, and Rock & Roots. His songs have
been heard on network TV shows Jag, the Young & the
Restless, All My Children, Cupid and on the Travel
Channel.
"Bob Malone walks on stage, sits down at the
keyboard, grins ear to ear and blows the audience away!"
Everyone is instantly attracted to Bob’s powerful voice
and blend of musical styles, but he also manages to fill
the room with "fun energy." He is considered heir to the
legacy of Professor Longhair and Dr. John.
Bob grew up in New Jersey, but tours extensively. He
has developed a unique combination of a finely tuned
sense of songcraft and a gutsy, bluesy, soulful
delivery. It has been said that Bob is "an almost
encyclopedic compendium of blues and roots piano
styles...and as a scribe, he's in John Hiatt's league."
Whether he's writing a sublimely crafted ballad destined
to become a radio classic, or a New Orleans-style
barroom stomp that shows off his world-class band,
virtuoso piano chops and one-of-a-kind lyrical wit and
humor, the music is always unmistakably Bob Malone
