The Woody Hawley Concert Series
sponsored in part by Unity of Kanawha Valley
Ron Sowell, Artistic Director
Bob Malone has toured the world as a solo artist for two decades and has played keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty since 2011. He is also a busy session player and arranger and is featured on the latest Ringo Starr record "Give Me Love". His recording of "You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is featured in the worldwide trailers for the 2018 Illumination/Universal movie The Grinch. Classically trained with a degree in jazz and a lifetime playing rock n' roll clubs, theaters, and arenas, Bob combines unforgettable songwriting with a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues, and New Orleans R&B delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own. Elaine Wine will be the opening act for this concert.
