Not only is he a talented singer, keyboard player, and trumpet player, but he knows how to read the crowd and get them engaged with the songs he is playing! Bob is very personable and kind! He knows how to get audience participation! We had a blast singing along with Bob and dancing to all of our favorite songs that we had requested and more! He went above and beyond the night of my Birthday Party, playing an extra 30 minutes past his performance time! I look forward to having Awesome Bob again for another event in the future!!" Beth H.
