3. What Rob can provide for your special event
A. Solo instrumental guitar
You have the option of Rob playing solo instrumental guitar and this choice is excellent for dinners, cocktail hours, hotel lobbies, the quiet hour of a wedding reception or business lunch. Any time you want live music but you want it way in the background drawing as little attention from your guests as possible. This also the cheapest alternative and takes up the least amount of space. This is a perfect sound for a showing or funeral for the person who wants something much hipper than the blue haired lady playing the organ. Very sweet sound. Listen to the sample (HERE).
B. Solo guitar with electronic accompaniment
Rob also plays his Gibson electric guitar along with MIDI accompaniment. This is very common today when price, space, volume and affordability are factors. You get the sound of a band with only one person taking up space and costing money. Rob sequences (records) the bass , piano, drums and whatever the song needs and plays along with the Apple G4 laptop in the movie.(see Red Room) This is an added plus because you can have .mp3 files played before, after his performance and on the intermissions just like a D.J. but not obnoxious. You can even request a microphone for toasts, announcements, whatever. This set up takes up about 6'x 4'of space.
C. Guitar with MIDI accompaniment and a percussionist
This option is very nice because percussionist adds quite a lot. It makes the music more danceable if that is important without adding much volume to the sound. It does add about 6'x 4'of space to the set up. This addition gives the set a more band type illusion instead of one man band.
D. Guitar with MIDI and a full kit drummer
This option is about the same as C. but makes the show more danceable for sure and adds about 50% to the volume. A little punch as the music people say.
E. Guitar with MIDI a percussionist and drums (See Blues for Anya)
Last but not least is the option of a trio and this definitely makes the show look more like a traditional band.
It is a very nice combination.
