Dr. Dobbe

I have been playing for 27 years. I started as a Bass player in a variety band and quickly got a better job in a better band that played all over the state. I really enjoyed touring with them and had a lot of good times and played a lot of really cool shows. A change in regular jobs meant having to leave that band but started me on my Solo career. I soon found out that although not everyone can do a solo show , that I was really cut out for this. I had good success locally for quite a while. Then came my big break. I got hooked up with a statewide touring show band. I would open for them and play their breaks. It really kept the crowd "up" and wouldn't leave during breaks. It also gave me two important things. The confidence that I could entertain a large crowd and also the contacts to bigger venues. I LOVE playing for people and bringing some joy to them. If only for a few hours they can forget all the stress life brings, I've done my job. (Secretly), It's brought me a lot of joy too, but you'll see that when you watch me play!!
