Duke Robillard, born Michael John Robillard on October 4, 1948, in Woonsocket, R.I., has established one of the most illustrious legacies in blues. A master guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, bandleader, and producer, Duke founded Roomful Of Blues in 1967, setting the stage for his remarkable career. His guitar mastery, especially of T-Bone Walker’s style, and his versatility across swing, standards, ballads, and Chicago blues, have earned him widespread acclaim.

After leaving Roomful, Duke worked with Robert Gordon and the Legendary Blues Band before debuting the Duke Robillard Band in 1981. His prolific career includes a notable stint with The Fabulous Thunderbirds and a long-term collaboration with Stony Plain Records. Duke has produced albums for numerous blues artists and recorded with legends like Bob Dylan, Ruth Brown, and Tom Waits.

Duke’s accolades include Grammy nominations, Handy Awards, and Blues Music Awards. His latest release, “Duke Robillard and his Dames of Rhythm,” features 1920s and 1930s swing tunes. Beyond music, Duke is also a gardener, photographer, and abstract painter, continually adding to his superlative career.
