The Band

Rob Paparozzi

New Jersey-based vocalist & harmonica player Rob Paparozzi has been a blues performer since 1967. But far from being strictly a blues musician. He's at home playing a wide range of music, ranging from rock to blues to jazz to pop. His versatility is reflected in the remarkably diverse list of major artists Rob has worked with, including B.B.King, Dr. John, Bruce Springsteen, Whitney Houston, Carole King, Roberta Flack, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Randy Newman and James Galway.  Rob has toured the world with the “Original Blues Brothers Band”, featuring guitar legend Steve Cropper and special guest Eddie Floyd and also as Frontman-Lead Singer for the legendary "Blood Sweat and Tears"  Rob’s own band "Juke Joint" does local shows in New York’s tri-state region.
