Bio

Rob has been playing drums for over thirty years. First introduced to drums back in the
late 70's
by Bill Gill. Bill taught Rob the basics of progressive rock drumming. In the 7th grade he began to study rudiments under the tutelage of Brian Gidley who placed Rob into the Lawrence, Ma High School band as a snare drummer by the time he was in 8th grade. At 12 Rob and Norman Mendieta had an original progressive rock band. At 13 Rob played drums for the Godspell play preformed by the North Reading Theater Workshop.  Over the years Rob has played in original and cover bands of various styles from progressive rock to blues, jazz, speed metal, punk, ska etc. Robs number one musical influence is his aunt, " Jody Bowes" other wise known as Jody Bluz.  Jody is an excellent pianist with an incredible voice.  Outside of Ten and Out Rob is currently writing original material with Bill Gill and Norm Mendieta.
