Bob's company, Hot Hits Music Group, LLC was
recently formed to bring fresh, unique, and very
mainstream dance and show entertainment to the
local and regional area.
- Hot Hits Orchestra was originally formed in the
summer of 2008 after Bob was originally called
upon in 2007 to put a group together to back a
Vegas tribute artist coming to the midwest to do
some shows. Since then the group has been
evolving as a fresh and unique variety dance
group featuring 3 violinists and performing
some of the great classic dance hits with that
authentic string sound.
- Hot Hits Music Group, LLC also is the home
for Hot Hits Orchestra Tribute to Roy Orbison,
and Hot Hits Orchestra Presents Gloria Jean's
Tribute to Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline.
- Bob also performs with Straighten up and Fly
Right, a Nat King Cole tribute, Colleen Raye's
Girl Singers of the Hit Parade, and Colleen
Raye's Girl Singers Christmas show, Steve
Clarke's Working Stiffs jump blues band, and a
variety of other local musicians on a regular
basis.
- Bob was very instrumental in the early 90's in
the development of Music Tech, now the
McNally Smith College of Music, as head of the
bass program, head of the ensemble program,
head of the music business program, and
assistant to the program director.
- Bob teaches bass and cello at Groth Music in
Bloomington and is the lesson coordinator there.
