Make your event memorable with live music.
Let me help you fulfill your vision whether it's a meaningful wedding solo, party vibe or relaxed background atmosphere for a reception? Over forty years experience as a professional musician performing at public and private events including festivals, pubs, house parties, receptions, dinners, weddings, barbecues and campfire singalongs. Repertoire includes classic rock and modern country, pop, folk and seasonal holiday music. I welcome special requests and as a songwriter can create a customized song for your special occasion.
Looking to live stream your event as well? I can help with that too having produced over 200 live streaming shows.
We hired Rob for a holiday party we hosted for the community. He is very talented and many of the residents commented to us how much they enjoyed the music!
Perfect for our event. Background music to provide a nice ambience for our guests.
We had Rob play at our 50th birthday party last month. Having him play and sing was phenomenal and "made our party". We received so many positive comments from our guests about Rob's performance and just how nice he is. Rob is very accommodating and professional. He even took the time to learn a few more songs he new we liked and surprised us that night. We would recommend and hire Rob again.

My goal is to work with clients to insure that my performance fulfils their vision - whether it's quiet background music, leading a sing along around a campfire or something in between. I listen carefully to what your expectations are with regards to sound, look and content, then work to meet your needs.
I'm a musician, writer, professional speaker, comedic improviser and live streamer. My live shows feature music from across the decades blended with original songs, improvised comedy and audience participation. I write on a wide range of subjects from creativity to food to philosophy. As a professional speaker, I entertain audiences while helping them become more creative, ethical and effective decision makers. When the pandemic struck I pivoted to live streaming and have produced over 200 engaging live streamed shows on Facebook and YouTube.
As a solo artist I can work on any scale from an un-amplified performance before a small group at your home to large scale staged events. While I do most of my own technical work with regards to set up and tear down, I can arrange for professional sound support for larger events.
