December 27, 2018Robert was amazing. He worked with me on a short notice project to propose to my fiancé. Not only did he learn the song in less then 36 hours, he stayed in constant communication, giving me updates on how things were progressing. My fiancé said yes and was in tears during the performance of her favorite song. Thank you so much, Robert.

September 11, 2017Robert arrived at my mom's memorial event at Ft Rosecrans on time, dressed appropriately with a pleasant attitude. I asked Robert to play as a backup music sound for the memorial and for the Celebration of Life at the Island Palms Hotel. He was perfect, played loud enough for everyone to hear but still able to talk etc... I highly recommend Robert, he was reasonable on his price and performed perfectly!

Robert performs as a solo artist. The style of music is rooted in country rock, blues, and folk. Robert is a low maintenance musician that comes with all the equipment for a clean sound. He requires very little space for set up.
Robert understands that the event not about him. He understands how to handle crowds that are there for the people the event is staged for.
His easy listening sound is not intrusive or offending in any way.
In most cases, Robert will perform on an acoustic guitar without devices to make him sound like more than one musician. However, in some cases Robert will perform on an electric guitar with a drum machine and PA. Robert can also perform with a live four piece band.
Robert has been playing an instrument of one kind or the other for over five decades. Starting as drummer, Robert branched out to the guitar, bass guitar, and piano. He has opened for such notables as Marshal Tucker and Antsy McClain.
Robert has performed in bands as a bass guitarist, guitarist, and singer touring the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.
Most recently Robert has concentrated on the six string guitar, and he has perfected his solo act. Currently Robert covers more than one hundred songs.
"Closer to Heaven" is Robert's debut album. The album is a collection of originals written by Robert and two cover songs.
Robert comes with a public address system designed for small spaces. The equipment needs one standard 15 amp electrical outlet. If the event requires a larger sound system, Robert can make those arrangement. Robert does not require a stage or lighting.
