Synopsis
Robert Paul "Bob" Curiano (September 27, 1954, Long Island) is American musician, songwriter and producer, who performs primarily on guitar, bass and vocals. He currently performs with Rainbow using the name Bob Nouveau. 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. Curiano was listed under the stage name Bob Nouveau. Nouveau means new in French. "That’s a Blackmore prank at its best. He said, “You need a stage name.” I’m thinking to myself, “I have to be a ‘new’ Bob?” So I went with the French. When they announced the band, the reaction was, “Who the fuck is Bob Nouveau?” So I started the Facebook page to clarify what happened".
