About this Event

Bobby Keyes is a Boston based guitarist who plays from the soul. His style is a blend of classic American guitar music and modern instrumental songwriting. He is able to combine many different styles and still find a unique, similar voice. Joining the trio is Marshall Wood on bass and Marty Richards on drums.

Bobby Keyes is an American guitarist and songwriter whose career spans six decades. Alongside his session career, he has released a series of instrumental solo records that he performs with his trio as guitarist and composer.

His albums Lucky Stereo, Lady Luck, Cloud 9, and Dojogobo, and the 2024 release, Alsuru, showcase lush melodies, with a modern take on classic guitar instrumental traditions. Critics have described his solo work “as romantic, cinematic, and deeply musical”, with songs moving from dreamy ballads to swing inflected grooves and jazz-tinged film noir.

Between studio sessions, touring work, and his own projects, Keyes continues to write, record, and perform, bringing a distinctly American guitar voice to the music.

“He evokes an entire era of classic playing.” — Ted Drozdowski, Boston Phoenix

"Guitarist Bobby Keyes is one of the great unsung heroes of the Boston scene.”— Steve Morse, Boston Globe
