Reverend Robert, Live Music at Belle's Winery & Saloon, plays the blues the way it was meant to be played — with conviction, soul, and a resonator guitar that seems to have a life of its own.
Rooted in the prewar delta blues of Charley Patton and Robert Johnson, the Rev. has spent decades immersing himself in the recordings that built American music from the ground up. What emerged is something rare: a musician who doesn't just play the blues, he lives it — with an honesty and unpretentious warmth that audiences feel the moment he starts playing.
His mastery of slide guitar earned him first place at the National Slide Guitar Festival in North Carolina in 2004, and he's since taken his one-man show to stages across the United States, Canada, the U.K., Europe, and India. Over the years his sound has grown to weave in jazz, ragtime, swing, and the irresistible grooves of Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, and Indian music — creating something that feels both timeless and completely his own.
Whether he's on a festival stage, a street corner, or your backyard, Reverend Robert brings the same thing every time: a stomping beat, an irresistible groove, and music that makes it impossible to stand still.
