About Bob

I have a 40 year history as a professional songwriter. Yup, I am old but I still make music every day and the incredible opportunities and relationships that I have had with amazing artists of all sorts remain a source of inspiration. As a writer, producer/engineer, and bass player, I have helped create hit songs over 4 decades. I have been so fortunate to work with a wide variety of artists, such as Emmylou Harris, Marcy Playground, Fuel, Dolly Parton, Jeffrey Gaines, Sunshine, the Badlees, and many more. As a Voting Member of the Grammy Academy, I have advocated for young and creatively new artists. I have been given two ASCAP PLUS Awards for mentoring and co-creating social issue-oriented songs and awareness campaigns with young composers. I am lucky to still be active and involved, with television song credits on many top shows, such as Fresh Off The Boat, Hart Of Dixie, Treehouse Masters, and more. I just finished a project for a major charity, with fellow musicians who provided parts remotely, that will be relaesed as a fundraiser for COVID-19 efforts.

Many of us are feeling isolated. But this can also be a time of sharing, learning, reflection, and massive creativity. Let's work on some basics together and then swing for the fences!

Let's unlock your potential to move people.

I love writing songs. I have done it all my life. But the first time I heard someone else sing a song I wrote, I was hooked. My biggest passion is collaborating with others on writing.

Bringing my idea to life or helping others bring their ideas to life... it's all wonderful.

I started teaching when the local community college asked me to become adjunct faculty.

Also, right about the same time I got involved with the Grammy-In-The-Schools program as a mentor.

First is a little get-to-know. Talk about songs and artists we love. Find common ground. Talk about process: words first, hook first, melody first, structure, demo process, instrumentation during the writing process... all the approaches that the writer is comfortable with or might want to become comfortable with.



Young writers and musicians in schools and after-school programs.

College music students.

Professional artists.
