Influences

Here is what the drummer for David Bowie/Susan Tedeschi/Dave Navarro/Seven Mary Three/Natalie Imbruglia/Candy Butchers/Juliana Hatfield has to say:

Bob Melanson has been my first call bass player, rhythm guitar player, keyboard frosting genius and all around musical force of nature since 1991. Through countless bands, singer-songwriters, all night sessions, great gigs and even the crappy gigs, Bob has been my right hand man. His groove is impeccable, his sound is always top notch and he is always a hysterically great person to be around. This is the guy you want to drive 6 hours with for a 45 minute gig. This is the guy you want that comes up with that magic part in the studio that saves the day. This is the guy that simply cannot allow himself to let you or anyone else down in any musical or personal way. I wish I could clone him. Really.
