Robert Randolph & the Family Band 

 

The COMPTEL PLUS Business Expo 2015 will be bringing in the funk with its opening night party featuring Robert Randolph & the Family Band. This American funk, blues/rock and soul band first gained national attention with the release of the album “Live at the Wetlands” in 2002. The band followed with three studio recordings over the next eight years — “Unclassified,” “Colorblind” and “We Walk This Road” — which, together with tireless touring and unforgettable performances at such festivals as Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, won them an expanding and passionate fan base. Randolph's unprecedented prowess on his instrument garnered him a spot on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list, and also attracted the attention of such giants as Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana, who have collaborated with him on stage and in the studio. Randolph’s latest album is “Lickety Split.”
