Terry Robb Quartet-(Adam Scramstad, Dave Kahl, Gary Hobbs)

Some musicians win awards. Then there are the very few who have awards named after them. Terry Robb – hailed as a blues guitar virtuoso and one of the finest acoustic guitarists on the international scene – is one of the latter. The Vancouver-born, Portland-based bluesman took home the Muddy Award for Best Acoustic Guitar so many times that the Cascade Blues Association finally broke down and attached his name to the trophy permanently. Recognition for his artistry doesn't stop there. 

The Oregon Music Hall of Famer has been praised by The Blues Foundation, Rolling Stone, Acoustic Guitar, Down Beat, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar, Living Blues and Oprah’s O Magazine, extolling his talents as a finger-picker, singer, songwriter, arranger and producer. He's toured the country with Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, Robin Trower, and John Fahey, appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, dazzled the crowd at Portland Trail Blazers games, collaborated with the Oregon Symphony, and had his work featured in Game of Thrones. 

During his multi-decade run in the spotlight, he's shown himself to be a master of nearly every blues style and technique imaginable. Robb's recordings have been praised by critics and musicians on the international stage. His original tunes draw on influences as varied as country blues to Coltrane, ragtime to Hendrix, and Americana to American Primitivism. His recordings are nominated, award winning and place high on prestigious playlists and recording charts. 

Said Dan Forte of Vintage Guitar magazine., “In Terry Robb’s hands, it not only makes perfect sense, it makes perfect blues sense.” 

Ty Curtis – One of the Pacific Northwest’s most compelling blues-rock voices, Ty Curtis delivers music with soul, power, and passion. A veteran performer with eight albums under his belt, he’s graced stages alongside legends like Robert Cray, The Doobie Brothers, and George Thorogood. His band—featuring Brian Harris (keys), David Kahl (bass), and Richard Lawrence (drums)—brings dynamic chemistry and seasoned musicianship to every performance.
