Michael John "Duke" Robillard was born 4th October 1948 in Woonsocket/RI. Duke and Al Copley founded the band Roomful of Blues and was a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. For 10 years he stayed with Roomful of Blues, left the band in 1979 and joined the singer Robert Gordon before he became a member of the Legendary Blues Band. In 1981 he founded the Duke Robillard Band which eventually became the Pleasure Kings. In 1990 he replaced Jimmy Vaughan to become a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Robillard simultaneously pursued a solo career in which he toured and recorded solo albums in other genres, such as jazz and blues. He formed a duo with jazz guitarist Herb Ellis and the swing trio New Guitar Summit with Gerry Beaudoin and Jay Geils. He explored jump blues in A Swingin Session with Duke Robillard, returned to his rhythm and blues roots in Stomp! The Blues Tonight, and covered blues songs from the 1940s and '50s in Low Down and Tore Up. In 2013, he was the guitarist for Bob Dylan's tour. In 2000 and 2001 he won the Blues Award as Best Blues Guitarist, his 2007 Album "Guitar-Groove-A-Rama" was nominated for a Grammy Award as well for his 2010 Album "Stomp! the Blues Tonight".
