Called a ‘keyboard wizard’ by The New Yorker, and ‘a genre-crossing master’ by the Tallahassee Democrat, singer/songwriter/pianist Bob Malone has amassed a loyal international fan-base through twenty-five years of touring and nine critically acclaimed album releases. He played keyboards for John Fogerty for 12 years, and has been a session player for Ringo Starr and Avril Lavigne. His recording of ‘You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch’ was the theme in the 2018 Illumination/Universal movie trailers for The Grinch. Along with the best of his catalogue of bluesy rockers and cathartic piano ballads, Bob’s live shows feature classic anthems by Fleetwood Mac, The Band, CCR, Bob Dylan and others transformed into foot-stomping displays of keyboard pyrotechnics.
Bob’s last four albums, including his latest (‘Good People’), have been in the top-10 on the Roots Music Report radio rock and blues charts, #1 on the IBBA UK Blues Chart, and his piano-driven take on Fleetwood Mac's “Oh Well” spent two years on the SiriusXM Bluesville Top-50 Most Heard chart.
Bob has played Umbria Jazz Festival (ITALY), Glastonbury Music Festival (UK), Long Beach Bayou Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival (AU), Cincy Blues Festival, Umbria Jazz Week (CHINA), plus headlining shows at Iridium (NYC), Garry Marshall Theatre (L.A.) and 606 Club (LONDON). He’s been featured twice at WWOZ Piano Night in New Orleans, where the New Orleans Times-Picayune praised the “the rollicking Big Easy spirit that informs his piano epiphanies.”
As a member of John Fogerty’s band, he’s played New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Radio City Music Hall, and The Hollywood Bowl and is featured on the 2019 concert album/DVD ‘50 Year Trip: Live at Red Rocks’ and the 2013 release ‘Wrote A Song For Everyone.’
His songs and piano playing have been heard on NCIS New Orleans, Entertainment Tonight, Lucifer, and The Hallmark Channel.
