"Artist Showcase review"

The production on Dova’s post-grunge hard pop has a radio-friendly edge with just a hint of grit. His vocals and energy makes him stand out, and his staunch work ethic can only result in a rewarding career.

"Local band creates a national buzz"

It might not be possible to create music that is all things to all people, but NYC's Rob Dova is making a healthy run at the proposition. He and his crack band have successfully opened for teen sensations Kelly Clarkson and Jesse McCartney as well as Pop up-and-comers Click 5 and AltRock bangers Lifehouse, Collective Soul and Switchfoot -- an impressive range by any yardstick. - City News


""Rob is the complete package”"

“Excellent” “Very Original sounding material with great production values. Rob’s Vocals are great from the lows to the high notes and shows great control, range and above all emotion.” “Great hooks and Melodies.

"Rob Dova- cd review"

From the picture on the cover, you might suspect this is just another pretty-boy bassist with a groovy symbol for his initials, but the music quickly dispels that notion. Well, he is good looking, and I'm sure the ladies will swoon, but Dova has made a strong offering for your consumption. Oh sure, the first number, "Falling," doesn't leap out; it's a laid-back, up-tempo ballad, but the second tune sucker punches you with its heavy, distorted chord-changing intro. And by track three, "Understand Me," the neck-snapping fun begins. There's some heavy popping, before laying back on the verses, springing up again on the chorus. It's dark, heavy, almost hardcore, but not offensive at all. And Dova seems to have invested some time and money in singing lessons, because his voice sounds almost too polished in spots. Just when you think he's aiming for a corporate-rock sound, he smacks you again, in this case, with "Don't Keep Me Waiting," a song that sounds like the current emo punk bands bloating the radio waves today. Overall, Dova provides an interesting blend of songs and styles that should easily find a home on mainstream radio. www.robdova.com - NY ROCK.COM

Bio

Based in New York City the Rob Dova story is one of tragedy turned into triumph. A story about chasing your dreams no matter what the cost.

Rob was, and is a top-flight bass player (endorsed by Fodera) who was playing for fun with bands in the NY area while enjoying a successful career as a lawyer/business man.

Everything changed when Rob's mother suddenly became ill, and was diagnosed with lung cancer. His mother unfortunately got worse passing soon after. This event changed Rob's path in life forever. In his mothers last few days she begged Rob to look deep inside, and to follow his heart, as well as his dreams.

Rob took to heart what his mother said, and started to write songs as a way of expressing the myriad of emotions he was experiencing. One after another the songs poured out of him, as they never had before, not only as a bass player, but now also as a singer/songwiter.

Rob found inside of himself a voice that he never knew existed. One song turned into ten, which soon turned into over 100 songs that Rob had written in the next several months.

These songs became the launching pad, and eventually the foundation of the band Rob Dova.

Rob decided to pursue his dream of Rock N Roll stardom full time regardless of the risk, and gave up his successful legal/business career. Rob put a band of like minded musicians together with one goal in mind; to create great music, and to be the hardest working band out there.

Rob is currently recording his new CD with producer Peter Zizzo(Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton, Celine Dion)
