Bob Stannard & Those Dangerous Bluesmen

Highland Center for the Arts is excited to welcome Bob and his band back to our Main Stage to kick off this season’s indoor performances!

Bob Stannard is an eighth generation Vermonter who’s been playing and singing the blues for audiences around the world, and has gained notoriety as an exciting performer known for quick licks and showmanship.

Stannard has joined BB King on stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. When world famous author, Stephen King, visited Manchester, Stannard convinced him to don a Gibson Special Issue guitar and sit in with the band. Stannard has also opened for and/or played with blues legends John Hammond, Chris Smither, Maria Muldaur, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Lynard Skynard, Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, and Isaac Hayes. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, special guest John Fusco will not be available for this performance.

Alternately, attendees can provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test (PCR) performed within 72 hours of the show.  In accordance with CDC recommendations and Vermont Department of Health regarding indoor spaces, masks are required.
