BIO:
Robert Hill, born in North Little Rock, AR., has been living in the New York City area for the past 25 years.

He was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame in 2014.

An Award- winning songwriter and slide guitarist, he performs in the New York City area, and at festivals around the country, recently playing at the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival in Helena, AR, to over 60,000 people over the weekend. He recently,(July 2015), returned from his 2nd tour of Spain.

PRESS:
"Hill's aggressive slide playing over a rough-and-ready backing track makes us want to slam down some moonshine and start a ballroom blitz. It's intense and relentless, and Hill's slide tone is fat, edgy and fabulous."
-Guitar Player magazine

"Versatile guitarist who uses layering, tone, texture and good taste to keep the listener riveted. Good singer, mean slide player- here's to more efforts like this from Hill." 
- Blues Access Magazine 

His latest release, "Have Slide Will Travel", touches on most of the styles of slide guitar that have come to define Robert Hill's sound. He mixes various styles of acoustic and electric Blues with Americana Roots, and manages to throw in shots of Funk and Zydeco as well....and it all works. Hill also breaks new ground on this cd by including an almost 8 minute Cumbia, and throwing in an original slide-inspired Spaghetti Western! Although he has always included instrumentals on his two previous cds, the self- titled debut, "Robert Hill", and his second offering, "My Corner", this is his first all-instrumental outing. Outstanding compositions with stellar slide that always serves the song.

Hello, dо yоu wаnnа to lооk my phоtоs? look link below

Sid Whelan is a guitarist, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in New York City.  His inspiration comes from the Country music his mother introduced him to; the classic Blues and New Orleans Jazz his dad introduced him to; the rock n roll of his formative years and the classic soul music his wife introduced him to in his 20's.  Currently working on albums 4 and 5 with his longstanding rhythm section of Trevor Bridgewater (bass) and Robert Weiss (drums), he previously released three self-produced albums: Flood Waters Rising (2013), The Story of Ike Dupree (2015) and Waitin' for Payday (2018).

Muziekwereld – Netherlands
“The great original songs; the relaxed laidback voice of Sid; the quirky, funky horn section; the sensual backing vocals and guitar make this horn-infused Whelan disc one that simply must compete with the releases of many contemporary blues artists.” - Lambert Smits
Skope – USA
“{Whelan} knows how to play the blues like they know how to BBQ in the south.” – Michael Friedman

The Lonesome Highway – Ireland 
“Sid Whelan has an impressive guitar prowess, holding his own against a coterie of accomplished players.” - Stephen Rapid

Rootstime – Belgium
“The additional contribution of legendary bandleader and trombonist Fred Wesley and his funky horns section to these songs can be defined as a great and artful achievement.” - Valsam

Here Comes the Flood – Netherlands
“The Story of Ike Dupree is an album for fans of Al Green, Mike Bloomfield, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Backed by an old school kick ass band, this is the kind of music that should be coming from a tiny stage of a bar that has the guts to put on live music and whose owner laughs at the concept of curfew. Late night music that you don't want to end.” – Hans Werksman
