Rob’s fascination with music started at just 8 years old, being drawn in by several genres and two generations of musical styles from the beginning. His parents’ large Sears console would ooze out the sounds of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, and the like. His older sister, however, was blasting out Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, CSNY, ELP, Black Sabbath and many more from that era.
His first concert at 9 years old set his personal trajectory: Janis Joplin. Since then, music was truly at his core. Though he began on drums his parents quickly figured out there was no volume k**b, so they bought him a plastic Sears guitar.
Since then, his experiences from the basement and garage bands led to begin performing professionally in 1989, leaving the dog-eat-dog corporate climate behind.
In 2014 Rob went from a part-time to full-time musician. By the time 2018 rolled around, Rob was performing over 200 gigs a year across 11 states and four countries, traveling up to 45,000 a year by car, train and plane. He’s performed in NJ, PA, VT, NH, NC, SC, TX, CA, AZ, VA, and FL Gulf Coast music scenes, as well as performances in Canada, Mexico, and the UK.
Rob is super passionate about what he does so come on out to see him in his element!
