Robert Mann
Welcome to my world. This band is mostly me, with periodic instrumental and arrangement input from my friend Carl and sometimes others. I have a music studio where I record all my songs. I'm an average singer and guitarist, and an even more mediocre piano player. I happen to think my songs are pretty good though (except for the really bad ones which you will never hear).
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In a previous incarnation, my band was called Arctic Summer. We played around in New York City and had some success. We split up because we all became too old and busy.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, in New York City and Connecticut. I love playing live as long as there is at least one person listening. Special moments- the wasted, scraggly old man climbing up on stage. Also, the first time I ever played live, many years ago, when I couldn't get the guitar strap untangled as the audience watched. That was special.
Your musical influences
Goo Goo Dolls, the Who, the Beatles, REM, any rock band that plays melodic music.
Anything else?
If you do download my MP3 song for free, can you please drop me an e-mail to let me know? Optional- I would be interested to hear what you think about the song. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to check me out!
