Overview

With a warm and inviting voice accompanied by skillful guitar work, this award winning songwriter sprinkles in some of his best originals with a long list of classic covers that draw from the singer/songwriter era of the 60's and 70's. But don't be surprised if you hear a Britney Spears song thrown into the mix! Bob's goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere for your guests so they can enjoy the music and still hold a conversation.

Looking for a music listening experience? Bob is also available for house concerts. Invite your friends over for an intimate evening of music in the comfort of your living room.

A quality PA system is available for most gatherings small and large.

Exactly what I was looking for

Bob performed at a recent client appreciation event I organized. I had several clients comment on how much they enjoyed him. He added a very special element to the atmosphere I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He was very professional and I enjoyed dealing with him. I plan to use him again at future events.

Wonderful

This was the second time we had the pleasure of having Bob Skon sing at our party, this time for my sister's wedding party. My sister is a classical pianist, so we had a house full of musicians, and everyone enjoyed the music quite a bit. Beautiful voice and a great choice of songs. We will be hiring again!
Strongly recommend!

Music set the mood for a non-profit fundraising event!

Bob's repertoire was perfect for the "Giving from the Heart" cocktails and hors' d' oeuvres event attended by a small group of civic minded business men and women. His music was unobtrusive, yet engaging. Everyone had a great time and we raised more than our goal! We would use him again!

What an incredible evening!!

Bob Scon is a delightful and talented singer, guitarist, and song writer! His voice is warm and inviting to the ear. The entire party enjoyed selecting favorite songs from his extensive playlist and singing along with Bob’s artful renditions. I highly recommend your checking out his videos and performances!

Great entertainment for large and small crowds!

We had Bob perform at our wine and food festival in downtown Detroit which saw about 1,600 people and he did amazing! He never stopped singing and his covers were classics that provided a great mood for the event. Would definitely recommend booking Bob for any of your events, large or small.
