About the Artists

Following his ten years as guitarist for the Celtic band “TEMPEST”, Rob Wullenjohn released his first solo album, “Blue on Green” in 2000. That album featured original and traditional compositions, adding Irish fiddle and banjo to the rock band sound. His second album “Love That You Want” released in April 2002, features a new band and a mix of blues inspired music. Rob Wullenjohn’s blues guitar stylings packs a punch to his original tunes. His guitar sound is reminiscent of the English blues players- those favoring the Les Paul guitar through an overdriven Matchless amp tone. The music is varied. Each song shifting in style, with the guitar keeping a consistent voice throughout. He effortlessly moves from slide guitar in an opening R&R number to an up tempo swing blues, then to a country inspired vocal duet with singer Nancy Hall. There is a beautiful flute performance by Peggy Johnston on the original middle-eastern tune entitled “Baladi”. His rocked-up version of the traditional Irish tune “Whisky In The Jar” has more energy than METALLICA’s version and was also used by the band TEMPEST. The guitar rave up in the middle section in the tune Secret Surfer, sends a shiver up the spine. Styles shift again as Rob plays slide, and sings about being down on his luck and having to sleep on a “friends” couch. Then with slide guitar again, in the song Blues For Green Hawaii, he’s blending a Hawaiian steel sound with old time jazz. The many styles of music show both the versatility of the guitarist and the blues medium. BLUE ON GREEN’s music is both a treat when performed live and listening to on CD.
