How about Rob Rio at the Lochness - Pasadena long before YouTube was even thought of. This guy always packed the place. He truly is one of the best........
Rob you will always be awsome. I knew you even way back when you used to play the John Bull and the Old Town Pub in Pasadena. Hopefully I will get to see you again some day. I live in AZ now. Stay cool, Michelle
You are mighty refreshing to listen to robrio....memories of 'the killer' My ol' fingers just aren't as limber as they used to be...but I've boogied on MY keys for forty yrs...I sa to you...ROCK ON!!! The ol' boogieman
Yeah, I've heard him and he's good allright. But not this good! There's another (dutch?) guy called Zwingenberger or something like that who's also very good.
@widdyhabb The Dutch guy is Eeco Rapp who has also video playing with Zwinginberger who is German. Rapp is a young guy who is playing excellent piano - check out his videos.
UNBELIEVABLE! This guy is BETTER than Albert Ammons! Didn't think I'd ever hear a whitey play the boogie like this! And he loves what he's doing = the sign of a master!!!
Mitch Woods here, your Rocket 88 companion. Love your show, buy hey I have done a lot of things to the piano, but licking it!!!???....you never know whose hands played it before and where they were....best wishes....Mitch Woods
Second to none! What style and performance! I could listen to Rob Rio and his Boogie Woogie piano and never tire of it. A God given talent, that we are so privelidged to see and hear.
Rob Rio just blows away the competition!! Even the long respected Boogie-Woogie artist gotta agree Rob is at the TOP! Hand over your crown BobSeeley!!
Just saw him last night @ Nissis He he frekin great! Put on an amazing show! Bought cds and every song is great! If you enjoy this video u shoud go to his show!

Jerry lee Lewis would be put in jail now days for child molesting. Wasn't he like 21 when he maired his 14 year old cousin? He can play the piano, but he's an old pervert.
wow absolutely amazing!!! rob rio rocks!!!! most people say n sing crap when they boogie...but the crap coming outta robs mouth is 100% poetry!!!! n of course having 1 of the best boogie hands in the world doesnt hurt;) keep rocking man!!!
Fantastic. Rob is the greatest. If you want to watch more of his magical, pounding, flying fingers playing Boogie Woogie, check out the "Dive Bomber/Roll 'em Pete Boogie" video on my site. My son and daughter surprised me with a Rob Rio performance in my home. It was a fabulous, unbelievable experience.
Thanks so much for bringing back the memories. Back in 1952 my 1st new car, which was 1 year old was a 1951 Olds Rocket 88 conv. And I remember way back then the song Rockett 88 was a big hit on the radio as was Chicago Breakdown along with many rythem and blues songs. I still have the old 78 RPM record of it. Still plays a little scratchy,but it sure was a great song.
Today I discovered your boogie woogie performance.
You are a true bw master. Great, great energy and devotion. Singing and playing in perfect sync. Do you know the Boogie Woogie Prayer. I am sure you could do that in a convincing way. Thank you. - fridemar
