New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bob Lanza above all else is a Bluesman and "From Hero To Zero!" features the stinging blues guitar work we have grown accustomed to from the New Jersey native. On this disc, Lanza really demonstrates his significant song writing ability. The title track "Hero To Zero!" chronicles the ups and downs of a Bluesman's life. Additionally Bob showcases a rich, perfect blues voice with which he tells his tales. Bob has a story to tell and he delivers it in style!
For his debut on the Connor Ray Music Label Lanza did most of the recording in his home state and then traveled to Texas to work with fellow label mate and renowned harpman Steve Krase. The CD also features tremendous work from Randy Wall (Trudy Lynn band) on keys and organ with a special cameo appearance from Trudy Lynn on background vocals.
Born and raised in the wilds of northern New Jersey Bob took advantage of his proximity to New York City to learn from the great Johnny Clyde Copeland and Floyd Phillips. Their influences can be heard in the passion embedded in all of Lanza's music. More recently Bob has provided support for Trudy Lynn and James Cotton on their East Coast appearances.
