North American Tour

Bobby was very fortunate to have a grandmother who was not only his “built-in” babysitter while growing up but she happened to be a music teacher blessed with skills on multiple instruments as well.  His first introduction to music was at the age of 4 when he was brought into the music room and asked, “Choose an instrument…”  The piano was the logical choice and the rest is history. 

He quickly grasped the concept and was enrolled in private lessons from various teachers.  At the age of 10, one of his teachers recommended and Bobby was granted acceptance into The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University .  ( Peabody was the first academy of music to be established in the United States )  Some of the more Notable Alumni include:  

Bobby has performed with various local and a national act as well as the recipient of various awards including:

  • 1989 - Top Honors, Nashville Music Song Festival – Top 40/Pop Category
  • 1996 - Finalist, WJFK Don & Mike Show Jingle Contest

He brings an extraordinary skill set and experience which spans greater than 30 years!  Today his Grandmother’s legacy lives on by providing multiple disciplines performing on Keyboards, Bass Guitar and Vocals.  

Stop by and say Hi...He won't bite!
