Bob has been singing and playing guitar since his first encounter with a true guitar hero — Ricky Nelson — at Steel Pier in Atlantic City. That life-changing moment was soon followed by seeing The Beatles and Elvis Presley (twice!) in Philadelphia, and no further inspiration was needed.

He has performed at countless restaurants, country clubs, private events, and charitable gatherings. In recent years, Bob has brought his talent and storytelling to senior and assisted living communities, sharing the great songs of the “good old days.” The smiles, nods, and audience participation make every show deeply rewarding — and always full of fun.

As a professional musician, Martin has played at clubs and concerts and schools and clinics and seminars since the late 70’s. His jazz trio has played at many hotels and clubs throughout the Philadelphia area since the 1990’s. Their CD, “ A Moment in Time “ was very well received. Their focus and “Mission Statement” is to play the classic Jazz Standards in an original yet respectful way, playing and creating a shimmering vibe. The group likes to be brief and melodic and conversational. Our guitar player’s wife’s insistence that we, ”make it pretty” has been taken to heart. In addition, Martin reveals some of the stories behind the standards to add another level to the event. The trio can be a guitar led or piano led trio and also be augmented, if need be, by additional instruments.
