A native of Philadelphia, Pa. Rob grew up playing piano,
clarinet, drums as a youth. He taught himself how to play guitar
while attending Darthmouth college. Performed in a jazzband there
called the Barby Cost Big Band. After graduation his desire to become a
bluesician became strong after listening to TBone Walker. So he picked
up his guitar and traveled the states playing the blues. He stayed
in San Francisco for a while where he played with Luther Tucker. He then
moved to France where he traveled and played the streets of all the surrounding
countries playing and living the blues for a year. He then moved
back to the states and traveled to Austin Tx where he hooked up with the
Ledgendary Hosea Hargrove on 6th Street. He then became Hosea band
leader and played with him for four years. He was noticed by Texas
music Hall of Famer TD Bell and joined the Blues Specialists where he's
been a fixture. Rob is an accomplished song writer/composer and vocalists.
His style is all TEXAS and original. Ain't bad for an Ivy League
grad.
