Armond Blackwater isn't just a musician; he’s a living archive of Rock & Roll history. With over 60 years in the entertainment industry, Armond has earned his reputation as one of the most versatile and resilient keyboardists in the business. From the birth of the 50s rock scene to the legendary tours of the 70s, he has been the harmonic backbone for some of the biggest names in music.

The Author: "Road Tales"

Beyond the stage, Armond is a compelling author, best known for his Road Tales series. His flagship book, Road Tales - Rode Tails, offers a raw, gripping, and often humorous look at six decades on the road. It’s more than a memoir—it’s the definitive story of the "sideman" life, capturing the tragedies and triumphs of a legendary career.

"Armond's tale is raw, gripping, and at times ripping with its frankness... the tale of every teenager that dreamed of stardom, fame, and fortune."
