Bob Curiano

Bob Curiano is an American musician, songwriter and producer, who performs primarily on guitar, bass and vocals.

Curiano was with Mink De Ville for a decade before moving on to pursue his own musical interests of writing and producing.

Can you come down to Florida?’ They were these nice little kids, but they couldn’t really sing harmonies very well,” recalls Curiano of that initial meeting with the teen band calling themselves “the Backstreet Boys”.

[4] In 2015, when Ritchie Blackmore decided to recommence Rainbow he invited Curiano as the bass player; the new lineup was announced on November 6, 2015.

When they announced the band, the reaction was, “Who the hell is Bob Nouveau?” So I started the Facebook page to clarify what happened".
