2012 Here's What People Are Saying About Bobby Messano
Steve Jones (Crossroads Blues Society)
For those who missed the show and have never seen Bobby Messano, he is the best guitar player you have never heard of...Undoubtedly the most underrated act I have seen in ages! Bobby is a guitar wizard!
John 'blueshammer' Hammer : (KOWZ)
Bobby's music speaks for itself. What sets great new music apart from very good new music is a familiarity that speaks to the soul. You got that goin' on. I am really diggin' the new CD. Keep rockin' da house my friend!
Richard Flynn (TOWER RECORDS):I gotta tell you - you just made my weekend...Not even sure what to say...easy to say you deserve it but you are one of the hardest working cats out there.... Nice to see good things for good people...
Rhetta Akamatsu (Atlanta Examiner): I'm just going to come right out and say it. I don't believe you can see a better show than Bobby Messano's. You can see a bigger show, with more special effects, but I don't believe you can see a better show musically, and I'm not just talking about blues or blues-rock.
Clair DeLune: (WUSC) Bobby Messano is one of my favorite discoveries (of course, HE knew where he was all the time before I "found" out about him... LOL) of 2011 and he was a LUNIE Award Winner for top 20 CDs of 2011 on Blues Moon Radio. This guy has the licks.
Reb Beach (WHITESNAKE) "Bobby has been my mentor since I was 19 years old...and he taught me how to play the blues." His playing has been a great inspiration to me through the years, and I am so happy that he has made such a fantastic record. This one is not to be missed. The record is filled with great songs, and spot on, heartfelt playing from a little known master of the electric blues guitar."
Wow! Love Love Love your record!!!! Bravo Bobby!!
Gabby Parsons:(105.5 TRIPLE M) Bobby Messano plays with passion and flair. He's the real deal.
Galoris Brownley: You are one of the greatest guitarists I've seen live. Considering I've seen Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Joe W...alsh, to name just a few. When i heard "Get Up & Dance With The Blues" on "Live In Madison" I actually got up and danced. Felt like I was there!It was such a treat to see you very talented musicians at JM Randall's on Saturday. You, Bobby, Steve and Felipe were outstanding! Listened to "That's Why I Don't Sing the Blues" on my ride home and it is FABULOUS!
Charlie Richards: Went to one of the best concerts I have ever seen last night at Kelly's Gingerhut in Cape Charles, Va. featuring BOBBY MESSANO. Steve Geller was shreding the bass and Mike Williams drums were a beat second to none. The entire house was up dancing the entire night while these guys jammed continuously! The energy was absolutely incredible and I am here to tell you these guys are the real deal, they are true international talent and I absolutely cannot wait to see you guys again soon. Thanks again Bobby, Steve, and Mike, great friend, fabulous people, and incredible musicians!!!
Hal Francis (Fan):Bobby, I had to drop you a note after the concert at the BBC tonight and before I go to bed. I meant every word I said about your show tonight and what I said came straight from my heart. I would love to stay in touch and if possible get a chance to see you perform again. As I said, this was the best concert I have ever attended and I have seen many being 62 years old. Thank you again for such a wonderful evening of music. Hal
Joy Campo-Decker (Fan): "I was absolutely stunned at the incredible performance and master musicians I witnessed... Sat. evening. Bobby Messano was genuinely on top of his game! I have been lucky, over 30 years, to witness such legends as the Dead, the Boss, CSNY, BB King, Ramones, Phoebe Snow, Creedence, ZZ top, and many more- but ...I have to honestly say, Bobby Messano and his band were right up there with other legendary musicians that bring music to its purest and best levels ever! I was honored to have witnessed this..."
Jeff Ervin (Fan): "Man, what a show! I was blessed to see Bobby here in Charlotte NC Saturday night awesome!! He is so down to earth and a great person, he even let me play his guitar ! God Bless you Bobby! Keep it going my friend!!
Steven Koontz(Fan):"Killer evening last night in Charlotte ......hands down, Mr Bobby Messano is one of the best guitarists on the planet......put on a jawdropping performance at the P-Stone in Charlotte...will be there again in early March....go support Bobby and Steve and their shows.....legendary....."

Bobby is that guitar a Aria Pro? or is it a U.S. Masters?
It's actually a SPIRIT guitar...It was a prototype BM git that I used for slide and alternate tunings...Pretty cool git actually.
Do you still have it? what year is this picture?
Thanks
