Italian guitar hero and legend, Roberto Morbioli (Rob Mo) is making only one Boston Area stop on his 2018 U.S. Tour -- and you can see him at up close and personal at the North Shore's newest, most intimate, elegant listening room!
Local rising stars VENUS MARS PROJECT will open the show.
ROB MO (Roberto Morbioli) plays the Blues.
He can breathe fire from his axe like a young Clapton or Stevie Ray. Crowded, noisy bars hush a bit when he steps up and folks look around to see who this is making such a holy wail.
His personality and unique playing style shine through all his interpretations so much that, even while recalling the styles of blues greats such as Freddy King, Albert King, B.B. King, Albert Collins, T-Bone Walker, you see and hear that every note is coming straight from the heart. And it's so infectious that you're caught up in it before you realize what's happening.
His guitar playing is nothing short of magic, and as a singer, his powerful voice recalls Sam Cook, Otis Redding, Robert Cray and Donny Hathaway. You don't even think about it, you just know that the blues flow so naturally for Rob, and his guitar playing and vocals are so polished, he sounds as if he grew up closer to Chicago than Verona, Italy.
Rob was born in Verona, Italy and picked up the guitar when he was very young. He has played at some of the biggest European festivals like the Amsterdam Blues Festival, New Orleans Music Festival in Ascona and San Remo Blues Festival.
In the USA, he has performed at B.B. King’s Blues club in Memphis, and Antone’s in Austin, Texas, the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland, Maine and regularly tours in New England. In 2011 he was granted a US working visa as an artist of extraordinary ability.
In 1991 he founded his own band MORBLUS which brought him critical recognition and awards. Since then, he has collaborated with many important artists such as Guitar Shorty, Jesse Yawn, Robben Ford, Roomful of Blues and Big Daddy Wilson.
Venus Mars Project is an original, high-energy, power pop/rock band with a unique, edgy sound from two skillful musicians of diverse melodic backgrounds. Singer/songwriter Jacyn Tremblay and guitarist/singer/songwriter Peter Tentindo have come together from their respective sonic realms to create a truly unique and thought-provoking new musical experience called the Venus Mars Project.
Jacyn Tremblay was formerly signed to Universal Motown Records as a pop singer with the Boston-based female pop/r&b group, "Jada", and has recorded several international hit singles with Akon, RedOne, Andrew Frampton && Wayne Wilkins.
Peter Tentindo, a professional guitarist, singer/songwriter, session musician, and teacher, was the backing band leader for Jimi Jamison (former lead singer of Survivor) and has opened for nationally respected acts like Alice Cooper, Heaven & Hell, and Queensryche.
Jacyn and Peter, both natives of Danvers, Massachusetts, first met when they were cast together in an original rock horror musical, "Scary Mary and the Audio Corsette", for Salem’s dynamic Halloween season of Haunted Happenings. Their serendipitous connection sparked a musical relationship, combined with the help of a select few collaborators, who are experts in their respective fields of business, marketing, and media production, the Venus Mars Project was officially launched.

About 17 miles north of Boston, award-winning 9 Wallis is a gorgeous, fully restored, historic location conveniently situated in the heart of Downtown Beverly's Arts District at 9 Wallis Street, right next to the Larcom Theatre -- less than half a mile from the Beverly Depot rail station and 3 miles from Route 128, with plenty of nearby parking (see map).
In April 2017, after 4 years of presenting over a hundred shows at Beverly's Larcom Theatre (featuring Grammy-winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and platinum recording artist), gimmeLIVE's owners Peter and Vickie Van Ness, transformed 9 Wallis into the most intimate, elegant listening room north of Boston with comfortable seating at tables, plus food & beverage service offering fine wines, local craft beers, specialty cocktails (featuring local distilleries and all-natural juices) and top-shelf spirits.
In August 2018, Peter and Vickie were presented with the Boston Blues Society's Keeping the Blues Alive Award for their work at 9 Wallis.
Because of its beautifully restored, tremendously flexible space with the best dance floor on Boston's North Shore, 9 Wallis has become a favorite venue for fundraisers, private parties and corporate events. Local charities have raised thousands of dollars at 9 Wallis (see examples). With world-class entertainment, an event can begin as a cocktail party or fully seated dinner...then transform into a nightclub-style dance party with concert quality sound and stage lighting.
