BANDS:

1) THE ACOUSTIBOBS (theAcoustiBobs.com) Denis Kramer and David Wilke, guitarists and vocalists from the Bob & Bob band, have teamed up with bass player, Pete Pollack, and drummer, Paul Chamberlin to form The AcoustiBobs. They are not your typical acoustic band, which you will hear when they bash out a combination of 50’s and 60’s Rock-n-Roll, some classic country tunes, and even a smattering of originals that their long time fans often request. When The AcoustiBobs play they always have a ton of fun and so does the audience that is watching them, as they are apt to grab a tambourine or kazoo and join them onstage anytime.
