Cast

Picking up guitar at the ripe age of 12, Roby’s earliest musical influence was his father, a multi-talented musician who grew up in Beaumont Texas with the Winter brothers; Johnny and Edgar, eventually moving to Los Angeles to do session work for producer Gary Usher and then paring up with Glenn Campbell and The Safaris. Roby started honing his guitar skills and developing his presence by joining his dad on stage to play Texas Blues and Outlaw Country. As a member of his high school jazz band and then a music major in college, Roby continued to sharpen his artistic discipline and broaden his knowledge of musical styles. The 90’s filled Roby’s calendar playing original music shows in Hollywood and traveling the states doing cover gigs; five sets a night, six nights a week in Ramada Inn lounges. In 1996 Roby moved up to Washington to team up with a former member of his original band, Scary Go Round and the two founded a new original act, LIT. After a decade of toughening his calluses and becoming a seasoned performer, Roby moved back to California, formed a power trio and dedicated himself to Blues-Rock guitar. In 2005 he became a National Finalist in Guitar Center’s GUITARMAGEDDON and then in 2008 won the title of Rock City News’ – Los Angeles’ Best Blues Guitar Player. In 2011 Roby joined the tribute scene, touring with David Victor, formerly of Boston, performing the hits of Boston and Styx in the popular tribute act BOSTYX. Roby then created his own tribute show, Stevie Ray Visited in which he can be seen and heard energetically channeling the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn. In 2022 the stars aligned and Roby became a full-time cast member of TLR – Experience The Eagles Music. “Joining TLR just fits right into my playing style and the love of Country and Blues I’ve had since the early years of playing music with my dad
