[3] This outfit did not record and soon split up. [1] This album, along with his first and third solo albums, was produced by his former Procol Harum bandmate, organist Matthew Fisher. He favours the OCD, Distortion Pro, Fat Boost, CLYDE Deluxe Wah, Deja Vibe 2, Soul-Bender, and a BOSS Chromatic Tuner. The Paramounts disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. While he usually uses two JCM 800s and a JCM 900, he also links 100-watt Marshall Plexi heads. Trower picked up the guitar, plugged it in, and with a shout which resounded around the auditorium he yelled, "This is it!". Trower is an influential guitarist who has inspired other guitar legends such as Robert Fripp, who praised him for his bends and the quality of his sounds, and took lessons from him.

Trower has described James Brown as his "big hero", particularly Brown's early work "where blues is crossing over into rock and roll". Robin Trower was born in Catford, London, England, but grew up in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The show of 29 March 2008 at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Royal Oak, Michigan was released as a double album on V12 Records. For his first two albums, his guitar was tuned in Standard Tuning EADGBE. [11] Other features included a custom C-shaped maple neck featuring a large headstock with a Bullet truss-rod system, locking machine heads and a maple fingerboard with narrow-spaced abalone dot position inlays and 21 jumbo frets. In 1962, he formed a group that became The Paramounts, later including Westcliff High School pupil Gary Brooker. On 20 March 2018, Trower played a show at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis, Maryland. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. In studio sessions, Trower uses a mix of amplifiers, such as a Fender Blues Junior and Cornell Plexi Amplifers models to acquire different tonality. In 1962, he formed a group that became The Paramounts, later including Westcliff High School pupil Gary Brooker. With the same bandmates, Trower gave a concert on his 60th birthday in Bonn, Germany. He currently uses his custom-built Strat (made by the Fender Custom Shop) which comes in black, arctic white and midnight wine burst. He has recently been using Fulltone pedals and effects. Since then Trower has been an ongoing proponent of the Fender Stratocaster. [9], During a tour with Jethro Tull, Robin Trower arrived early for a sound check and found Martin Barre's Fender Stratocaster (which Barre used for slide playing) propped up against an amplifier. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called the Jam (not to be confused with the later group with Paul Weller). The tour featured Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer, Saga's Ian Crichton, Dave Sharman, Jan Akkerman and Laurie Wisefield. The concert was recorded by the German television channel WDR. European dates began in April. Joining Davey Pattison and Pete Thompson was Glenn Letsch (formerly of Gamma) playing bass. [6] Robin Trower was dropped from Chrysalis Records afterwards.[7]. Thirteen albums later, Trower's album, Living Out of Time (2004), featured the return of veteran bandmates Dave Bronze on bass, vocalist Davey Pattison (formerly with Ronnie Montrose's band Gamma) and Pete Thompson on drums—the same line-up as the mid-1980s albums Passion and Take What You Need. It is reported that during live performances, his guitar is tuned a full step down to a DGCFAD tuning. Robin Leonard Trower (born 9 March 1945) is an English rock guitarist and vocalist who achieved success with Procol Harum throughout 1967–1971, and then again as the bandleader of his own power trio known as The Robin Trower Band. Trower uses between one and three 100-watt Marshall heads with four to six cabinets on stage. Before launching his eponymous band, he joined singer Frankie Miller, ex-Stone the Crows bassist/singer James Dewar, and former Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker to form the short-lived combo Jude. [1] The Paramounts disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. [4], Perhaps Trower's most famous album is Bridge of Sighs (1974). [4] He was given his own signature Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive in late 2008. Trower then joined Brooker's new band Procol Harum following the success of their debut single "A Whiter Shade of … Trower retained Dewar as his bassist, who took on lead vocals as well, and recruited drummer Reg Isidore (later replaced by Bill Lordan) to form the Robin Trower Band in 1973. Trower was also a part of the Night of the Guitars II European tour in 1991, organised by Sting and The Police manager Miles Copeland. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called the Jam (not to be confused with the later group with Paul Weller). [8], In 2016, he enjoyed a successful tour of the US. It was then released on DVD and subsequently on CD throughout Europe and later the US under the title Living Out of Time: Live. Ten minutes later (approximately 9:00PM EST) after playing back to back songs "Day of The Eagle" and "Bridge of Sighs", he announced on his microphone that he was not feeling well, handed his guitar to a stage crew, walked backstage and collapsed.
