Wherever multi-award winning, Bob and the “Roograssers” perform, an infectious joy engages

audiences with heartfelt songs, toe-tapping tunes, spontaneous antics, a boot full of instruments,

and a musical journey that travels from the towns and cities of Australia to the U.S. Appalachians,

all the way to the Scottish Highlands.

Bob’s onstage presence and award winning songs are supported by Sue Carson’s warm fiddle and

operatic vocal abilities, two times Australian Flat-Picking Guitar champion Robbie Long, and Dave

Carter’s consummate, if not comic instrument juggling, from bass to banjo to bagpipes.
