Bob has become one of the most influential touch soloists today. His latest  7 recordings all solo CDs are recorded live without the use of effects, except a small ambient use of reverb. His recordings have been described as "the sound of the Stick in its purest form."

The Stick, invented by Emmett Chapman is designed to be played by using both hands to tap the strings on the fretboard. The musician can play several parts at the same timet in the manner of a pianist. The player has full contact with the strings giving the artist endless access to musical expression. It is these virtues of the instrument Bob has spent over.30 years cultivating. With the Stick Bob creates a combination of  expression,  technique and musical emotion like nothing  heard before.
