Overview

Eclectic solo singing guitarist playing classic covers ranging from Tom Petty and Jackson Browne to STP and Red Hot Chili Peppers (and everything in between). Have something you’d like to hear? I’d be happy to learn it. I can play for hours and love to engage the crowd...my aim is to ensure everyone is having fun!

I regularly play at Saint Joseph’s Brewery, “The Tap” downtown Indy and downtown Bloomington, the District Tap on 86th, etc.

You Should Hire Him!

Robert did an amazing job with our party! I hired him to sing/perform for a couples wedding shower at our home. He had all the equipment he needed and set up quickly. He sounded great and had a great playlist of songs. He was also just a really nice guy and super easy to work with. He was also quick to respond to my emails. I will definitely hire him again if the need arises in the future. Thank you for a great party Robert!

Great Show!

Robert has played for us at Bier Brewery a couple times, and he has always given a great performance. Our guests really enjoy his playlists and his singing. We will continue to ask him back and look forward to having him again! Highly recommend!

Booking information

Price range: $100-$1,000

Gig length: 30 - 240 minutes

What to expect

Can play up to 4 hours (with one brief 15 minute break) of classic hits with favorites from today as well. Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Roy Orbison, RHCP, STP, Third Eye Blind, Sublime, etc. etc. If you have a few you would like me to learn just let me know!

About

I toured the Midwest with alt rock group Borrow Tomorrow for 10 years before going solo: picking up the acoustic guitar and gigging around Indianapolis in more intimate settings. I enjoy getting creative with my loop station, singing crowd favorites and engaging the audience.

Additional booking notes

I can bring my own PA and lighting. Only need one standard 110 wall outlet within 20 feet and I’m good to go!
