I saw Rob open for Mike Keneally's recent tour at a small bar in Bellmore NY this past Sunday night. Guitar shredding evening, for sure. This is the first time I've seen (or heard of) Rob. I was very impressed with his sound and playing. You can immediately hear the Steve Vai influence (but it's tasteful shredding).

I picked up his "Violet Horizon" CD. It is a bit much to get through all in one listen, but I could say the same about anything Vai or Satriani have released also.

Any other fans here?
