Welcome to Bob Sachs Music!
Here you’ll find information about all my musical endeavors. Hopefully I’ll get to see you out at a live performance. Just check my calendar or send me an email.
This is before Roger took a leave after 6 years of every Tuesday. Roger is the one who actually named the band Bob Sachs & The Maniax! We still play lots of other things and he joins me on Tuesdays often. Hey, where the heck did I learn to play fiddle anyway??? Is that the right way to hold it???
I perform several genres of music and play a number of different instruments… Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle and a few others you may not know.
In addition to events on the calendar at right I make regular appearances at local Song Writer events. I also manage to “raid” gigs of many friends on short notice. I also do a fair number of private gigs that are not listed here.
This young lady showed up one day having been pointed to Roger by a mutual friend in Chicago. Megan Brusseau turned out to be an incredible singer and loves the old swing and western swing music that we love too. Sadly she moved away, but still in touch. Never know when she might pass through town!
On occasion I enjoy jumping from side man to front man, playing guitar and singing. I’ve been working on that lately and have had a pretty good time in the process. This is also forcing me to hone my guitar chops since I am usually in a duo or solo when I’m on guitar. Thanks to my great pal Marci Shore for hanging by me on the fiddle to make this easier!!
Can’t let the Mandolin get too far from me though since it’s like a part of me. I love playing gigs on Mandolin and even get lots of chances to “raid” friends gig and sit in on Mandolin. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to give that up long as I can still play!
