Rob Tognoni

"Catfish are synonymous with the Mississippi Delta, this is where the roots of what I play began...the Blues.
The Church considered it Devil's music, it was rebel in the making and spawned the greatest and most influential rebel Bluesman - Robert Johnson...he paid for it with his life...and his soul...
This album is a combination of essential "Catfish", lifelong influences, rebellion, humour, love, social conscience, baked slowly over the last 40 years. It's not a Blues album by purist's standards, but you will feel where it came from....“
