Thanks Rochelle! What a great group of people and fun party. The cookout, beer truck, ice cream and face painting were fun for everyone. Happy to have entertained your tenants - great people all!

September 18, 2017Incredible! Everyone loved Bob's performance!
I read several excellent reviews on Bob before booking him for my wife's birthday party and he did not disappoint! He was a pleasure to work with and put on an outstanding performance. All of our guests RAVED about how great of singer and guitarist he was, played a very diverse setlist of songs we all loved, and could not have been any friendlier and professional. It is also worth noting that he played through the entire party without any breaks. He also drove up from Cape Cod to the North Shore for our party which was highly appreciated. I could not have been happier with our choice and would highly recommend Bob Bean to anyone looking for a very talented musician.

What a great time! It was pretty foggy on the water but the crowd was so much fun. I really enjoyed participating in the surprise and learning some new songs for Andrew's wife (Dave Mathews and Jack Johnson). It is always fun to perform for an enthusiastic group of great people!

November 14, 2016Wonderful time!
My daughter's wedding was a small dinner event and I'm so happy Bob was part of it. He made it extra special with his music by singing songs everyone knew. Guest enjoyed listening and singing along... we all had a great time!

What to expect
I engage the audience and alter my setlist to adapt to the crowd. If the mood is quiet, classy and subdued, I'll play relaxing James Taylor, Eagles and Elton John tunes; if the energy is high I'll play rocking Bob Seger, Rolling Stones or Tom Petty songs. My objective, each and every time I play is to create an environment where people have a great time listening to songs they know and love and remember the event you planned for years to come!
About
I grew up in Central Massachusetts with a guitar in my hand. I am an Engineer and Entrepreneur from WPI who loves engineering and music. My latest venture is a wireless, Internet of Things venture to protect valuable items (like guitars) from damage and theft. I love playing music and singing to both small and large audiences. I write my own music and I'm always learning new songs requested for special events and weddings. Music touches my soul ...
Additional booking notes
I use my Taylor 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars with the latest power amplification and speaker system (Bose L1) that projects sound with incredible fidelity up to audiences as large as 300. The system I use has very low sound fall-off with distance so listeners who are close and listeners who are further way all hear my music as it was meant to be heard. For some songs I use harmonica, harmonizing, looping as well as bass and drum pedals to add fullness to my performances.
