- Biography
Guitarist, singer and songwriter Sherman Robertson is a product of the region of the
country that he grew up in: he?s one part zydeco, one part swamp blues, one part electric
blues and one part classic rhythm & blues. His guitar playing style is extremely rhythm-based,
but at the same time, he plays some extraordinary slide guitar and in the course of one of his
typical three hour shows, he?ll play a lot of great solos. Robertson?s rhythmic playing is no
doubt an outgrowth of his several years on the road in the 1980s with the king of zydeco, Clifton
Chenier.
He also served tenures with Rocking Dopsie and Terrance Simien & the Mallet
Playboys before deciding he wanted to venture out with his own high energy blues
style several years ago. Fortunately for Robertson, some folks at a major label, Atlantic/Code Blue,
took notice.
Robertson recorded two albums for Atlantic/Code Blue,
a label that shut down operations in 1996. Robertson?s albums include his stunning debut,
I?m The Man (1994) and Here & Now (1995).
"I focus on the good time, upbeat blues,"
says Robertson, born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana but raised across the border in nearby Houston.
"Playing with zydeco bands all that time, everybody was always dancing. The guys I learned
from were all playing dance music. When zydeco blues comes to town, you can?t sit still. Yet people
have this concept of blues as depressing. I say, ?Forget your problems, I play dance music.?"
