BOB STARTED HIS MUSICAL CAREER AT THE EARLY AGE OF 5 WHEN HIS MOTHER TOOK HIM TO VIOLIN LESSONS. (I THINK THAT’S HOW HENNY YOUNGMAN STARTED). THANK GOD HE GREW OUT OF THAT INSTRUMENT. AS HE GREW OLDER HE PICKED UP GUITAR AND DRUMS AND ENDED UP PLAYING DRUMS IN HIGH SCHOOL. IN 1988 BOB WAS ASKED BY A FRIEND TO JOIN HIS BAND AND PLAY BASS GUITAR. BOB HAS STAYED WITH THE INSTRUMENT EVER SINCE AND CLAIMS HE LOVES THE FEELING OF THE LOW END AND ALSO ENJOYS LOCKING IN WITH THE DRUMMER AND HOLDING THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER. BOB IS ADIMENT IN SAYING THAT THE DRUMMER AND BASS PLAYER MUST BECOME ONE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TIGHT BAND THAT GROOVES. AND HE HAS PROVEN THAT FACT BY THE MANNER IN WHICH HE PERFORMS WITH THE BOOGIE MONSTERS.
BOB HAS HELD TOGETHER MANY BANDS THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN OF WHICH INCLUDE THE BLAME, THE HEALERS, STATIONVILLE, MRS. CRABTREE, AND HIGHER GROUND. BOB STATES “THE BOOGIE MONSTERS HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE’’.
BOB BRINGS TO THE BAND A GREAT ATTITUDE AND DEDICATION TO THE MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE. THERE IS HARDLY EVER A MOMENT WHEN YOU WON’T SEE HIM HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE WHILE PERFORMING. JUST DON’T ASK HIM TO PLAY ‘JESSE’S GIRL’ BY RICK SPRINGFIELD. (THAT REQUEST HAS BEEN KNOWN TO SET HIM OFF) IF YOU’RE EVER AT ONE OF THE BOOGIE MONSTERS’ SHOWS AND REQUEST SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE…YOU SHOULDN’T BE THERE TO BEGIN WITH. THE BOOGIE’S ARE DEDICATED TO BRINGING YOU THE BEST LIVE SWING, BOOGIE, ROCKABILLY, AND BLUES MUSIC PERIOD! YOU’LL HEAR NO CHEESY OVERPLAYED MUSIC FROM THIS BAND. EVER!
