ABOUT

Dec 2023 Update: Just figured I should poke around here, see who's new and maybe update this thing since it's been 18 months. Not much has changed for me, I'm still playing gigs whenever we can with Dangerous Goods band (check dgoods dot calm). What bands are you in? Whattya doing in 2024? Drop me a note at rbbigpile at gee male dot calm. Happy Holidays!

Below is my original text from when I first jumped on to Bandmix years ago.

*****************************************************************
Hi, I'm Rob. I've played with bands in and around Calgary for 20+ years. I like to think I'm a decent guitar player by now, but you be the judge (check out my songs and videos). I can also play bass, little bit of keyboard and I can sing lead or harmony. I have good gear plus PA and a truck to carry it with. On top of that, there's my stellar good looks. Hahaha!

I know a LOT of the old standard bar cover songs, and I'm pretty quick to learn new material by ear. Willing and able to play most anything except very heavy/hard rock / metal. Mostly into classic or newer rock, blues, Americana (Canadiana?) southern rock, folk, roots, rockabilly, alt-country. Etc.

BTW, I'm a mild-mannered IT pro by trade, happily married, zero drama. Family comes first, but I'm able to commit to a weekly night for band practice, and at least a couple weekend gigs a month. I'm easygoing, do my homework and will show up ready, on time, every time. Pro attitude but no delusions, not trying to be a star, just want to contribute to a good band and have some fun if this all works out.

My playing, singing and songwriting appears in lots of solo and band music published on Spotify, Apple Music, and most other major streaming platforms. Search for "Rob Bischoff" or "Dangerous Goods Band".
