Rob Clark
For 31 years, music has been a very important part of my life, taking me on an incredible journey across the country and through countless genres. My career kicked off in 1993 with the SeaWorld Beach Band, and since then, I've had the immense pleasure of working with an array of talented groups. I've been a part of iconic big bands like the Ollie Mitchel Big Band and the “George Kassis, Barry Ferar Senior” Big Band (alongside Gordy Edgerton), and brought the rhythm to vibrant salsa bands including Orquesta La Nueva, Orquesta La Familia, and Trece De La Suerte. Showbands like Polyester Express and Sensation Showband have added to the fun, and I've also proudly played with the Coronado Big Band. Today, you can find me performing with the Manny Cepeda Orchestra, the Jazz Project Bigband, and the Bigband Jazz Machine, lead by the one and only Ira B. Liss. It's been a privilege to meet and play alongside so many extraordinary musicians, and I cherish every opportunity I've had to travel and share music nationwide.
