For over three decades, Tucson's own Bob Log III has brought his blues-inspired guitar playing across the world to rave reviews, dancing and laughter.
Bob Log III is an American slide guitar one-man band based in Arizona and Melbourne, Australia. During performances, he plays old Silvertone archtop guitars, wears a full body suit and a helmet wired to a telephone receiver, which allows him to devote his hands and feet to guitar and drums. His show has been described as a blues punk guitar dance party.
Log tours internationally, performing about 150 shows each year throughout North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Taiwan and Iceland and has toured with the likes of Ween, Franz Ferdinand, The Cramps, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Beck, Sonic Youth, Ani De Franco, Coolio and Cypress Hill, also appearing at such iconic events such as Byron Blues Fest onstage with icon Booker T, Queenscliff Music Festival, Muddy Roots TN, Biel Openair, Festival of the Sun, End of the Road Festival and many, many more, packing out joints for 20 years all over the World.
Dressed in a human cannonball suit on stage, Bob Log III and his blues punk guitar bring the party atmosphere to each and every gig. With his feet frantically pounding away on his kick pedals, the open tuning on his wireless guitar, and his voice distorted by the telephone receiver, his act is all about having a good time. Audience participation is of utmost importance through his performances, and he encourages male and female participants to join in the fun by drinking Prosecco from an inflatable boat, stumping on balloons, and sitting on his knees while he plays.
"It’s pretty simple. I take a guitar, and I turn it into a party" Bob Log III
