Band to Join, Drums, Bass Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Piano, Keyboard.ABOUT
Lead Guitarist / Songwriter and a whole lot more...
I love playin' music. All kinds of music. I love writing music. All kinds of music. Rock, Blues, Country, or whatever. I am lookin' for new adventure in forming or joining up with a band willing to do original material for CD Studio Recording Sessions. I am willing and able to play lots of covers just to get us out there playin' somewhere. It's who I am and what I do. I live in a canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains along the east fork of the river here. It provides me with a more uninterupted lifestyle which
allows me better focus when I feel creative. Call me. No, really.
Call me. Ten thousand bars and one night stands is only part of the story...

Influences
Almost everybody...so many have provided me with inspiration to
grow with the music over my lifetime. I've got the usual vault
of the famous ones but I have enjoyed playing with so many people.
This is the main reason I've become familiar with many different styles in which I cover most all genres, both playing and writing. Well. I try to make the most of every music relationship I encounter. It's one of the perks of being able to communicate without even speaking the same language in some cases.

I COULD BE DREAMIN'
I COULD BE DREAMIN' Track number: 1 Year: 2011 Album: The ROB STEVENS BAND Genre: Other
Acoustic guitar with unique twist on voicing the lyrics. Slowly added are drums and electric guitar far off in the background. The intensity of the song is in the dynamics, both basic and the full on production. Though the recording itself lacks the quality of a professional studio endevour, it dosen't take long before it hooks you. Some of the best "Love Lyrics" I've written, I think. The lead guitar is a 1981 Ibanez Artist which provides such awsome tones I really get my cookies off in this song. Enjoy.

ROUGH RIDER
ROUGH RIDER Track number: 2 Year: 2011 Album: The ROB STEVENS BAND Genre: Southern Rock
"C'mon men, we'll head 'em off at the pass!" The Old Wild West. I pictured a bunch of hard-core gun-slingin' bottle-bustin' foot-stompin' newly deputized misfits wearing those long coats ridin' thundering horses in hot persuit of the bad guys who are tryin' to get to their hideout for one last stand before calling it a night...
