Rob Quail (guitar, vocals) is a 25-year veteran of the Toronto club scene. In bands and as a solo act, his gritty vocals and energized guitar playing have been heard in most major blues and rock venues in and around Toronto and throughout Southern Ontario. Rob cut his teeth as a performer in a series of bands with Jeff Healey. Jeff and Rob played together regularly over the years, as guests or subs in each other's bands, and in the music press Jeff frequently credited Rob as one of his two major guitar influences (the other being local guitar-slinger Tony Springer).

Rob’s other past credits include as sideman in Steven C and the Red Rockets, King Elvis, Kim Doolittle and the Doctors, and as frontman for The Chairs, Clarksdale, and Groovemonger. Rob has also lent his distinctive style to a variety of recording projects, including those of St Louis-based fusion-jazz master Scott Jones, Louisiana-roots singer/songwriter Doc Wilson, and the Denver-based instrumental-rock Brett Funk Project.

Check out Rob and Jeff Healey together in this clip:
