He has toured with Bonnie Raitt, Hot Tuna, and J. J. Cale, and has made appearances at esteemed festivals such as The National Storytelling Festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the Chicago Blues Festival, and MerleFest, where he has hosted the acoustic blues stage for the past 12 years. Garnering critical acclaim far and wide, he is "a genuine example of the traveling bluesman tradition that begun in the 20s, was revived in the 60s, and continues today" (Living Blues). Jorma Kaukonen, legendary guitarist and co-founder of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna says, "Nobody writes in the idiom better than Roy Book Binder. He is a master player, singer, writer and teller of tales...true tales. He wrote 'The Preacher Picked the Guitar' and passed it on to me. It's an honor to include it on my new album, Stars in My Crown."
