Born and raised in WNY,
Rob showed an early fascination in Music and Lyrics.
Growing up with Classic Rock of the 70's- STYX, Boston, Bob Seger, The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Until finally finding the Band who at the Time was making an explosion in Music - KISS. Seeing the 4 Members at his first Live Rock Concert at 9yrs old had a lasting impact to what would become an infatuation as he grew into his Teen Years.
He went on to write a Music Column for his High School Newspaper and then would start to write his own songs and learn to sing and play Keyboards.
When the unforeseen Pandemic gripped the world, and after seeing the heavy burden Business and Musicians had to endure, this could not go unanswered.
He could not wait to try and be a voice in this battle.
He decided to start a Music Show - to highlight all Musicians and to make the public realize- "LIVE MUSIC" will be back and it is up to all of us to Support the Music and Venues we Love.
Speaking with Local bands and Venue Owners he started putting together Interviews and Videos.
With the help of Local Buffalo Music Hall of Fame Members Jim Crean and Jessie Galante and with the Star Power of The Bass Master - Mr. Billy Sheehan he started to grow his audience and his guest Interview List. He was also very fortunate to join forces with Support from the First -School of Rock - Buffalo and then Rochester to Sponsor his shows.
He went on to Interview National Bands from around the globe, from Italy, Sweden and Germany and The U.K. And have spoken with well-known musicians such as Vinny Appice (Dio, Black Sabbath), Kip Winger (Winger) Liberty Devitto (Billy Joel), Michael Sweet (Stryper), Josh Todd (Buckcherry). Rachel Bolan (Skid Row), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, The Dead Daises), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake), Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), Michael Wilton (Queensryche) and Priscilla Presley’s son -Navarone Garibaldi and many others..
And We will keep working to "Keep the Torch Alive" a fire that burns with the Intensity and Passion that has been created by so many outstanding musicians from near and far.
REMEMBER TO SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC WHERE-EVER YOU ARE!!
