    Duke Robillard Band celebrates 2017 at the Knick..

    Duke Robillard (Contributed)

    Over his career, both as a solo artist, as a sideman or as a member of acts such as Roomful of Blues, guitarist Duke Robillard has played on or released almost 60 albums. Would you care to guess how many of those recordings have the word "blues" or derivations thereof in the title?

    Why, 22 — and that includes his latest release, "Blues Full Circle," which came out in September. Yes, Robillard is a devotee and master of swing and jump blues, and there are few finer purveyors of same anywhere in this galaxy. Which means you're in luck for New Year's Eve when Robillard headlines the Knickerbocker Café in Westerly. And if Robillard plays even one song from each of those five-dozen albums, you'll still be rocking NEXT New Year's Eve.

    The Duke Robillard Band, 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Knickerbocker Café, 35 Railroad Ave., Westerly; $20; (401) 315-5070.
