RECENT COLLABORATIVE RELEASES
SEPTEMBER 30th:
Very proud to announce the release of COMMON GROUND - a record I did with Bill Evans, Darryl Jones and Keith Carlock.
This is a great band of musicians and I am personally proud of my contribution as a player and even more as a writer and producer.
You can find the record HERE. ENJOY!
Very happy to announce the release of a live recording from my group of the 90s,
The Blue Line,entitled Live at Yoshi's.
This was a very important band for me where my solo career really began. The Blue Line was a group of people who had something very special together, playing a style of blues that stretched the genre into a hybrid form that included jazz, rock and a ton of improvisation.
The band is caught at it’s peak, culled from a five night stint at Yoshi’s in Oakland, California in 1996. Any fan of my music will love this recording!
About Robben Ford
Watching Robben Ford take the stage is equal parts gratifying, awe-inspiring, and challenging—a perfect storm of creativity and emotion that results in some seriously good music. As soon as he plays his first note, you realize that you’re in the presence of a bonafide guitar master. With five Grammy nominations, a three-decade-long solo career, and a resume that includes Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, and George Harrison, his accomplishments reflect the versatility and musicality of someone who has pursued their true calling. During a live performance, Robben is acutely tuned in, feeding off of the energy of the audience, and fully prepared to throw you a curve ball at any moment. In other words, it’s an experience not to be missed.
As of 2024, this long-time Californian, having spent many productive years in Los Angeles, New York City and Nashville, has relocated to London, UK in search of fresh inspiration. His playing and musicality have preceded him and the Uk music scene has embraced him fully. Having established himself as an international artist touring extensively throughout the world and particularly in Europe there are many opportunities for this world class musician to engage in.
An important and essential component of Robben’s career is his commitment to teaching and passing on what he’s learned over the past 40 years to current and future musicians. His instructional videos and clinics over this time have culminated in a collaboration with TrueFire and the birth of the Robben Ford Guitar Dojo. The wealth of his expertise and creativity is generously presented in these state-of-the-art productions, and will be, for years to come.
