What is a Rob Landes show like?

STUNNING VIRTUOSITY

Because of Rob’s rigorous training in Classical music from the age of 3, he can also play thrilling, virtuosic arrangements rarely attempted by other violinists on stage, like this medley of “Owner of a Lonely Heart” and “Smooth Criminal” in the style of infamous violinist, Niccolo Paganini.

MULTI-TRACK LOOP PEDAL
One of the things that sets Rob’s performances apart from most instrumentalists is his use of a loop pedal, which allows him to record and playback multiple parts immediately. This happens to work perfectly for the well-known “Canon in D” by Pachelbel. Watch as Rob plays all parts with just one violin.
STORYTELLING

Rob incorporates storytelling, humor, and inspiration into his unique style of performing to keep the audience’s attention and interest high throughout his shows.

He’ll tell the story about the time he rented a hot air balloon for a video shoot, then realized afterward that nobody could see him playing in the balloon because the drone operator was too scared to shoot a closeup video! Watch his performance here.

REAL-TIME IMPROVISATION

One of the most impressive and meaningful things Rob Landes does though, is learn music on the spot for audience members. Rob routinely can take a few requests, and if he’s not familiar with the song, the audience can watch him learn it in real-time, then improvise with the original track, adding a new dimension to that song the listeners have never, and may never, hear again. Here is Rob learning “Wichita Lineman” for a couple which meant so much to them at their wedding.
