## Description

Join us for a compilation of recordings from Roy's performances at Caffe Lena over the last 5 years in celebration of his extraordinary life and career as a traveling Blues guitarist and storyteller.
For over 50 years, Roy Book Binder, aka, “The Book,” rambled across the globe, keeping the timeless tradition of American blues alive. A true storyteller and master of fingerpicking guitar, Roy shared stages with Rev. Gary Davis, Pink Anderson, Bonnie Raitt, Hot Tuna, JJ Cale, and more, earning a place among the greats.

Here are just a few of Roy’s accomplishments,

First solo acoustic blues album to receive 5 stars in Downbeat Magazine
In the late 80s he toured the east coast with Bonnie Raitt & appeared on The Grand Ole Opry, which led to his almost 30 appearances on NASHVILLE NOW's, Ralph Emory Show
His latest album The Good Book hit #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.)
He was featured on a PBS Special & on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross
Roy was a regular instructor at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch 

Roy was not only a blues master but a born entertainer. 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. With his "Tour Bus" in town, every show became a one-man blues-fest, full of authentic licks, legendary stories, and music that transcended time.
