Guitarist Robin Trower to Make Smith Center Debut This October
Tickets go on sale Friday, June 6 at 10 a.m..
Legendary rock guitarist Robin Trower, renowned for his pioneering work with Procol Harum and his long-running solo career, will perform for the first time at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. in Reynolds Hall.
A defining figure in rock guitar, Trower rose to prominence in the late 1960s as a key member of Procol Harum, before launching a highly influential solo career. His 1974 album Bridge of Sighs marked a major breakthrough, showcasing his signature mix of blues, rock, and psychedelia—punctuated by expressive, fuzz-drenched guitar solos. The album earned him a devoted fan base and remains a touchstone in classic rock history.
Trower’s playing style, frequently compared to that of Jimi Hendrix, is marked by deep vibrato, soulful phrasing, and improvisational flair. His impact has been felt across generations of guitarists, and he continues to write and record new music with creative vitality. “I play guitar every day, and just through messing around, ideas happen,” Trower says. “I can never feel the songs coming, but all of a sudden you get a sliver of an idea and you think, ‘Oh, what’s this?’”
In addition to his solo achievements, Trower has collaborated with artists such as Jack Bruce and Bryan Ferry, further cementing his status as a guitarist of rare range and sensitivity.
