Rob Eckert Band

Rob Eckert began his career as a guitarist at the late age of 23, after serving in Vietnam for a year. The experience shaped him in ways he never could have anticipated, influencing not just his music but his outlook on life.

After returning home, Rob found solace in the strings of his guitar, using music as a way to process his experiences. He immersed himself in learning and practicing, determined to find his voice in the vibrant music scene. From the early years of devoted practice, he honed his skills and deepened his understanding of music theory and composition.

In 1973, Rob’s dedication paid off when he received a degree in music from the University of California. This formal education equipped him with the tools he needed to navigate the complexities of the music industry and further fueled his passion for creating meaningful art. 

As he navigated the challenges of starting his career later than most, Rob drew inspiration from his past, channeling the emotions of his service into his songs. Each performance became a cathartic experience, resonating with audiences who connected with his powerful storytelling.
