Bio
Rob Probst brought his seasoned guitar and mandolin playing to bands such as Hypnotic Clambake, Zydeco Vacation, New York Klezmer Orchestra and One Road, and even performed as a cantorial soloist before forming a project of his own. The bandleader, songwriter, mandolinist, guitarist and singer serves up original groove jam music and non-traditional arrangements of traditional music from other cultures, from ballads to Irish jigs and Bulgarian dance tunes. Lift and his band have been touring the Northeast and songs from their first cd, “Another Ring On The Tree” have been on rotation at many college and local radio stations, including “The Upper Room with Joe Kelley”, which in March 2004, became the first radio show to have been featured on Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer PRINCE'S official web site. Professor Lift Band has been on WROC Channel 8 “Wake Up Rochester”, and pictured in “Discovering Rochester” magazine, targeting college students and visitors to Rochester. So who is Professor Lift? The music has influences from jazz to funk and blues, and from newgrass to worldbeat, but we just call it great, up ”lifting” music that has a little something for everyone.
