Robert has had the pleasure of playing at San Francisco bay-area venues such as Yoshi’s, the Boom Boom Room, Doc’s Lab, the Agenda Lounge (back in the day), and the SFJAZZ Miner Auditorium, and has shared stages with renowned players such as Nancy Wright, Calvin Keys, Will Weston, Terrence Brewer, and many more, playing jazz, blues, R&B, and rock and roll. His 2015 debut Hammond organ combo release Big Shoes peaked at #11 during its nine weeks on the CMJ charts, and his 2018 album Closer to Home peaked at #1 on RMR’s jazz chart, #5 on NACC’s jazz chart, and #32 on JazzWeek’s Top 50. Among his many inspirations Robert counts the playing of Jack McDuff, Billy Childs, Larry Goldings, Herbie Hancock, and Tony Monaco. Robert currently plays accordion as a member of Mission Hot Club, and enjoys doing side jobs as a recording engineer and session player on organ, piano, accordion, and vocals.
