The band is a contemporary soul/blues band that can be seen touring throughout venues/festivals around Florida and beyond. Currently, BBB has 4 CDs on the market that can be heard via streaming worldwide and on radio stations around the country.
Blackmon will showcase a variety of rock and roll and rhythm and blues paired up with electric, Southern, soul, gospel, delta, Memphis, and Chicago blues sounds.
Originally from Athens, Texas, Blackmon's musical influences range from BB King to Buddy Guy and, over the course of his career, Bobby has opened for ZZ Hill, Jimmy Reed, Johnny Taylor, Lou Rawls, and Barbara Lynn.
He also performs regularly at BB King’s Blues Club in Orlando and is featured on National XM Radio’s blues station. His three-piece ensemble is comprised of Blackman on his signature electric guitar, Darnel Kelly on drums, and Jack Bumgarner on keys and organ.
