Detroit Country Band experience

This Detroit Country Band is a mix of eclectic musicians who have been performing collectively for over 200 years! That is a TON of experience on one stage.

Bob's mother always played the popular Italian singers of her day on the old stereo system. Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Dean Martin, and others, filled the house. Bob's father listened to Marty Robbins and Burl Ives. Growing up Bob loved Motown, the blues greats, rock and roll and the singer songwriters. These early years explain why Bob has such an eclectic taste in musical styles. He is a member of this Detroit Country Band.

Bob has rodeo'ed professionally for 30 years, raised and trained horses, and still runs a horse training and boarding facility to this day.
