Rob Duncan's musical roots are in the music of Motown artists such as Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Add to that Michael McDonald, Elton John, and Leon Russell, and you'll get an idea of what to expect from Rob as a singer and keyboard player.
Rob started his professional career as the pianist and backup singer for Arista recording artist Paul Davis (Cool Nights, 65 Love Affair, I Go Crazy).
Rob appeared with Paul Davis on American Bandstand and Solid Gold.
Once the tour was over, Rob moved to New York City. Within his first year in NYC, Rob was hired to write and produce songs for the children’s television show, Sesame Street.
The next few years Rob continued writing and recording songs while also performing at events and various piano bars in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, and New Jersey.
In 1994 Rob moved to Boston, MA, and formed the band The Radicals.
He and his band performed concerts at the Boston Garden, the Fleet Center, The Wang Theater, as well as many other top venues in New England.
Rob also performed in Paris, France from (phone number hidden)1.
Rob Duncan wrote songs for and produced four CDs while in Boston, and in 2002, Rob and his family moved back to NYC.

Rob Duncan has spent the last 8 years in the New York City area, performing locally in clubs, private parties and events, as well as singing jingles for various advertisers.
Rob also is very active as a composer and music producer and studio musician, staying busy producing music for various artists as well as overseeing the production of live performances of the artists he produces.

Rob Duncan is a very seasoned musician and singer, and his soulfulness is clear the minute you hear him begin to sing and play piano.

Sufficient lighting where I will be performing.

There needs to be space between my setup and the audience. At least 2 feet between the front line of my setup and where the audience would be seated. (This is to insure no one bumps into my mic or keyboard and knocks anything over).

I prefer not to be set up too close to any exit doors or entrance doors. If a door opens in front of my speakers it can cause feedback.

I need at least 45 minutes to set up and have a sufficient sound check (a sound check before performing, if possible).
And I need to have some type of 'dolly' that I can use to roll my speaker cabinets and hardware to the performance location (if possible).

There needs to be electrical outlets within 5 to 10 feet of where I am setting up.
Finally, I would like to have a chair AND a stool (or small table) placed at the location where I will be performing.
