Description
Robby hails from one of popular music's most hallowed legacies- the Rock 'N' Roll family. Named after his father Bobby Vee (Take Good Care of My Baby, the Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Rubber Ball, Devil or Angel, Run To Him, Come Back When You Grow-up Girl, Love You More Then I Can Say), and family friend, Brian Hyland (Sealed With a Kiss, Gypsy Woman), both legendary pop music icons, he's steeped in rock's timeless tradition of pop, swing, rockabilly and bop. Robby's talent, creativity and perseverance as a singer/ guitarist/ songwriter and entertainer has captured the attention of audiences and respected industry professionals world wide for more than a decade. He has learned from, and shared credits and stages with the architects and legends of Rock 'N' Roll, such as Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, Carl Perkins, Sir Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Dion, The Righteous Brothers, Buddy Holly's Crickets, Dick Clark and his 'Caravan of Stars Rock 'N' Roll Show' and many more. Robby is currently touring Fairs, Festivals, Casinos and Theaters with his Rock-N-Roll Caravan, a tribute to the golden era of rock-n-roll featuring a video and music tip of the hat to "The Day The Music Died".

Feedback
- Robby Vee's band did a great job! Our crowd was slim because of rain
downpours most of the afternoon, but the folks who heard him really
enjoyed the performance. He was great with the kids. I was told ahead of time that he played to the audience and he sure did.
Thanks,
Janette Wertish -- Janette W, Renville, MN, 6/11/2005
- Robby Vee and the Rock-its were exceptional, totally a top-notch band!
I would give them the absolute top rating in every category. They were extremely accomodating and nice to work with. They were professional in every way, and their music really moved us to get out on the dance floor! They rocked! Robby Vee is an incredible singer who has a very distinctive style, and he is a master guitarist as well. Did I mention that he is adorable too? The band is way above average with serious talent! They put on a show that is second to none. For our reunion they were perfect, as they played music from
the sixties that we loved and could identify with and sing along to. -- Deb H, Thief River Falls, MN, 7/26/2008
- Robby Vee and his guys are great. Musically they can perform with anyone I have eve heard and they work hard to put on a good show. Definitely worth their pay. -- Tyler H, Hansell, IA, 9/3/2011
