“Wow!! Some amazing fret board work….and only a small glimpse of overall talent from Nobby Reed and the band that evening. I played a few songs with the them at On Tap a couple of weeks ago and then got to sit back and witness one of the most incredible guitar shows I have ever seen. From slow to fast and on so many genres (blues, rock, funk & psychedelic) and all filled with incredibly creative pieces and executed as few can do. Eric and Ray always holding steady! You never know where Nobby is going to go, but they somehow never miss a beat and transition right along with him” … George Keener
Nobby Reed has always been about playing the guitar. Like so many others of his generation, he was introduced to the instrument during his early years in a magical time when some of the world’s greatest electric guitarists were making their presence known. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Duane Allman, just to name a few, all had one thing in common; they were playing the blues. They were emulating their heroes and playing tunes by Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, BB King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Howlin’ Wolf.
Many youngsters picked up guitars in those days with varying degrees of effort and success, but Nobby was different. He didn’t just pick up the guitar, he became the guitar. The guitar became part of him, and Nobby played the blues. He learned how to make the guitar do the talking, how to make it sing, how to make it cry from the depths of his soul and rejoice with the angels. You have only to watch other guitarists when they are watching him to realize you are witnessing something you just don’t see or hear every day. This man can sweep an audience away to another place with his guitar playing alone.
