\nRoy Book Binder has been rambling around the world for the past 45 years! He gave up his Greenwich Village "\;pad"\; in the early 1970'\;s and lived in his "\;Tour Bus"\; for the next 15 years criss crossing the US and appearing at festivals throughout Canada &\; Europe. \; \;
\n
\nBook Binder\, travelled with the legendary \;Rev. Gary Davis \;in the late 60'\;s..... "\;The Book\,"\; recorded his first solo acoustic Blues album in the 70'\;s\, which was the first to receive 5 stars in \;DOWNBEAT magazine! In the \;late 80'\;s '\;The Book'\; was part of \;Bonnie Raitt'\;s \;East Coast Tour\, which included an appearance on \;The Grand Old Opry \;which led to almost 30 appearances on \;Nashville Now'\;s\, Ralph Emory Show! In the 90'\;s he often appeared with \;Jorma Kaukonen \;(who recorded 2 of Roy'\;s songs)
\n
\n"\;The Good Book\,"\; Roy'\;s latest release of all original songs\, reached \;#3 on AirPlayDirect'\;s Americana charts! #1 was Guy Clark &\; #2 was the late Townes Van Zandt. \;Folkdj.org \;had Roy in the top 3 artists for July.

\n"\;Roy has the goods: the original\, the bare-knuckle\, the low-down . . . blues. Who can say they were friends with the \;Rev. Gary Davis\, \;Pink Anderson \;and \;Robert Lockwood? And toured with \;Arthur Big Boy Crudup\, \;Hot Tuna\, \;JJ Cale \;&\; \;Bonnie Raitt? Roy can. He has the stories\, the licks\, and the mystery of timeless music in his fingers. He&rsquo\;s been featured on the \;PBS Emmy Award-winning series \;"\;Arts Across America"\; and interviewed by \;Terry Gross \;on &ldquo\;Fresh Air.&rdquo\; \;He&rsquo\;s also a regular at \;Fur Peace Ranch\, where he teaches along with Jorma Kaukonen. When he brings his \;'\;Tour Bus'\; to town\, a one-man blues-fest ensues. He plays and he entertains\, feeding us music and stories\, and the evening is a celebration for us all. We&rsquo\;re privileged to have Roy here to preserve and extend the tradition of great American blues music. - \;James Hipp

\nFor almost 40 years Roy Book Binder has traveled the world as a "\;keeper of the flame"\; and ambassador of the blues. He is certainly a national treasure and one of the finest fingerpickers working today.
