LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center will once again welcome guitarist Terry Robb for a concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Robb has long been considered one of the top acoustic blues guitarists. His dynamic finger picking style and ability to sound like a hard, yet sophisticated band all within a solo performance have amazed audiences worldwide.

From ragtime and country to swing and free jazz, Robb’s foundation is the blues, but his influences and music and includes elements of finger style, rock, bluegrass, Latin, hymns and spirituals.

A member of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and Cascade Blues Association Hall of Fame, Robb is an icon of the Pacific Northwest music scene. In 2011, having won the Muddy Award for best acoustic guitar an unprecedented 19 consecutive years, the Cascade Blues Association honored Robb with a namesake award: the Terry Robb Acoustic Guitar Muddy Award, bestowed on a nominated guitarist from the Pacific Northwest region annually.

In June of 2015, Guitar World magazine named Robb one of eight acoustic blues masters, along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Block, Tommy Emmanuel, Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters.

One of Robb’s early influences was the legendary steel-string guitarist John Fahey. He and Fahey became good friends, working and performing together, and, at the young age of 24, Robb began producing several of Fahey’s critically-acclaimed recordings — including Fahey’s 1984 album “Let Go,” which Rolling Stone named one of the top three albums of the year alongside “Purple Rain” and “Born in the USA.”

When at home, he performs regularly throughout the Pacific Northwest and is a member of the tour-de-force trio Acoustic Guitar Summit (which includes Grammy-winner Doug Smith, who performs annually at the Peninsula Arts Center).

The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N. Wine, beer, and other refreshments are available for purchase.

Admission is $15 at the door or online through Brown Paper Tickets; or call Bill at 360-901-0962. Concerts benefit the Long Beach Peninsula Acoustic Music Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization.
