I am a polished, professional one-man band tailoring dynamic entertainment for ages 50 to 90. Performing with high-quality backing tracks, I blend singing, trumpet playing, comedy, and dancing to create an interactive energy that gets people moving. My extensive repertoire features 800 hit songs spanning the 1950s through the 2000s, including Motown, Classic Rock, R&B, 70s Funk, Pop, Country, and Jazz. I specialize in requests, boasting an 80% success rate for guest favorites. Often compared to Jerry Blavet, I adapt to any event: from a sophisticated background vibe to an energetic sing-along dance party. I pride myself on playing exactly what your crowd wants.

November 14, 2017Wow, we had a great time at Speranza Restaurant in Westville listening to Bob Stankard, who sings beautifully and accompanies himself on trumpet and guitar. I felt like we were back in the 50's with his renditions of "Summer Wind" and "Witchcraft." I especially liked the Bobby Darin renditions of "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea." I will be on the lookout for more performances from Bob.

My goal is for you to meet your expectations for a great experience.
