Bob Stannard

He is an eighth generational Vermonter, who’s been playing and singing the blues since 1969 when he quit playing the drums and took up the harmonica.

A self-taught blues harmonica player and singer now endorsed by SEYDEL Harmonicas, he has enjoyed playing for a variety of audiences around the world.

In April of '09, Bob was invited on stage to join his all-time idol, Charlie Musselwhite for a killer rendition of "Movin' and Grovin".

He has gained notoriety as an exciting performer known for quick licks and showmanship.

His talent got him invited to perform at the 36th and 38th Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux with BB King.
