Amazing live performer - life of the party!

For anyone needing live entertainment for a party, I want to highly recommend Rob Appelblatt “SPLATT”. My husbands 50th would not of been the same without SPLATT performing. He is a talented guitarist/singer who also plays the harmonica. His personality and vibe got everyone engaged. His song choice was perfect and all my guests raved about him. Don’t hesitate to contact Rob for any event you may have.

Hired as: Singing Guitarist

Rob made our event perfect!

Rob played at my best friends bridal shower which we hosted in our backyard. He was the perfect addition to our event! The party would not have been the same without him.

Rob is a talented singer and guitarist. He also plays the harmonica. His voice is amazing and his song selections were right on point! The music flowed seamlessly throughout the entire event. Every single one of our guests and even our neighbors who could hear his playing commented on how great he was!

Thank you so much Rob for making our party perfect! I will definitely be hiring Rob again for future parties!

Perfect addition to my party

I hired Rob to play at my 50th birthday where I had 60 guests in my home. He was exactly what I was looking for when I decided to add live music to enhance my party. Her was amazing, connected with the audience and I would definitely use him again. I have already referred his name out to others.

What to expect

My performance set is committed to memory. I do this because I do not think it's fair to read lyrics off an iPad while I'm performing. I like to be 100% fully engaged with my audience and give them my best performance and full focus. My set list has been very carefully planned to entertain all members of my audience with very familiar songs. Some are high tempo and very upbeat while other songs are slower and more mellow. I usually play a 3 hour show and may or may not take a couple of short breaks. I play each gig as if it's my last... Expect a memorable event! Hope to see you!

Additional booking notes

Lmk if you have any stage equipment. I'll need access to power for my setup. I sing and play through my Fishman Artist amplifier which is good for up to 100 people. If it's a bigger venue lmk and I can look into adjusting my setup for a bigger audience. I like to have a stage area of approx 6' square.
