Rob Denton

Biography
Press

Rob Denton has played guitar nearly all his life. He has a natural ear for improvisation. His arsenal of "axes" consist of models by Fender, Epiphone, and Jersey Girl. His guitar processor of choice in the studio is a Pod Pro XT Live.

Rob uses a variety of picking techniques as he plays that has the effect of altering the output in dramatic ways. He is forever working the volume and tone switches, as well as alternating the various pickup combination in search of the "right sound". It is not unusual for Rob to spend 20 to 40 minutes searching for his sound before attempting a take on a track. It is this precision that leads to consistent and quality output from one of the best Minnesota guitarists you can find.

Sweet guitar! I like it best of what I've heard of guitar work so far. It gels. It's not so much about how fast, or how precisely the axe is played - it's about the "feel". That's what grabs me.

--From Songs of the Big List Compilation Reviews.

A soulful intro then a jazzy/blues intense feel that reminds me of John Mayall. It then transforms into dance music, with a consistent beat to jive to. Then this is intermingled with brief guitar solos- in all a high level of musicianship that is thrown at you for your consumption. More importantly Doug and Rob can write as well as play, its good to hear someone perform their own work.
