Did you go to this Gig?
Most fans in the UK know Robb Blake from the ska/punk outfit, Whitmore. His solo work is more mainstream, but by no means watered down. He has released two albums on Do the Dog Records, No Time to Waste and One Man Ska Explosion. Immediately, comparisons to Chris Murray and Vic Ruggerio sprang to my mind in terms of the acoustic guitar and use of harmonica. But Robb's voice tends to be a bit coarser than Chris' and drifts more towards Joe Cocker's.
