Rob & Adrienne

Adrienne got started playing music in James West's band. Rob first started playing guitar at around 8 years old. His mom taught him his first guitar chords. Adrienne is influenced by The Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac. Rob grabs his influence from Chris Stapleton and most sad songs. Their biggest accomplishment is the release of their first album "The Wind". One notable performance is sharing the stage with hit songwriter Luke Laird.

One of the first pieces of music he learned was the opening riff to "Last Train To Clarksville". After learning that he was on his way! He is most proud of encouraging and mentoring the wonderfully talented Adrienne Berry. He loves songs that tell a story and loves artists like Jackson Browne, Steve Earle and James Taylor.
