Bob was born in Indiana. He and his brother Gary started playing guitar at a young age after moving to California with their family. Growing up, his influences were The Beatles, Elvis, and The Animals. He and his brother Gary started playing in several Rock and Roll bands such as The Misfits and The Mystical Sounds.
In 1967, Bob and his brother Gary changed the band name to The Blues Bottle Band which performed only one gig due to Gary’s untimely death. The band never performed again.
Bob later played with Peter Green and Childhood End which won a Battle of the Bands award.
After putting his guitar away for about 30 years to raise a family, Bob started playing again. He played with The Cantrell Brothers Band, The Just Six and a Beatles Tribute Band (Fab Fever).
In 2006 when Bob started a new band it needed a name. The only name that was in his heart was The Blues Bottle Band. Dedicated to his brother Gary. The band has been together since 2006 and has gone on to perform at many Festivals, Wineries, Breweries, Car Shows, Yacht Clubs, Lodges, and Private Events and looks forward to many more years of performing!
