Rob Hunt Band

Rob Hunt brings high energy to a Blues Rockin format, Born in Louisiana Rob began playing guitar at 12 and was influenced by the sounds of Country, Blues & 60's rock that was coming from Europe at the time. Playing in Bands in Shreveport in the 70's he honed his skills learning songs from the Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck, Cream, Cactus, Savoy Brown etc. Moving to the Midwest in mid 70's Rob met up with some guys in northern Iowa and started playing shows in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa etc. Later forming the Band Onyx with fellow Louisiana bud and guitarist Cary Nissan and drummer Paul Kingsbury from Iowa, Rob played around the region bringing his southern influences to the music ! After moving back to Louisiana he joined up with guitarist John Rachel, Charlie Messina & drummer Stan Livingston to form the Band Teezer which became popular playing the current rock & jazz fusion music of the time. After Teezer Rob joined up with the band Max and played around the region with childhood friend Donnie Sabo on guitar and Dennis Seaman on Bass. Rob moved to Dallas in 1981 and started playing with several Bands in the area, in 1985 he met singer Ted Pearce and began writing songs that led to the band "Side Effex" and played at all the popular venues doing shows with Johnny Van Zandt, Foghat, Pat Travers and the Producers. Side Effex was nominated best rock-pop band by the Dallas Observer and played shows all around Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In 1991 Rob started working with the sister duo Kim and Kelly Brown to form "Frankly Scarlet", and developed a sound which led to opening shows for David Bowie and NRBQ and playing the South by Southwest Conference in Austin Tx! Being in a state with such incredable talent such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Johnson, Charlie Sexton and Rocky Athas, Rob wanted to get back to his roots of what really inspired him which was Blues, Rock, and Soul. Rob formed Rob Hunt and the Blistertones which consisted of Danny Nunez on bass and Barry Neal on Drums, the Blistertones played all over the region.
