About

BOB: VOCAL-BANJO-GUITAR-(INSPIRING) BANTER

Bob Holderbaum solves entertainment/speaker problems!!! The Gigmasters categories listed don't fully describe Bob's "quiver of talent arrows." He's an excellent singer. He plays both 5-string banjo and guitar. He's been dubbed "The Banjo Man" by some. There are many, many guitar players. There are far fewer banjo players--especially one who makes you feel good after hearing Bob's fare. He's also an accomplished public speaker. Bob has produced a CD of his music ("What Were Their Names?"). Bob's entertained over 12,000 people (average audience 40+) in the past 10 years. Bob can be your seasoned SPEAKER (supplemented by his versatile singing voice and 5-string banjo); Bob can be your ENTERTAINER; best of all, he can be your SPEAKER/ENTERTAINER.

Bob is the answer to entertainment needs: conventions, your clients, employees, associates, customers, residents, or other group. Perhaps you're simply hosting a party. Maybe you want to think out of the box--and hire an entertainer/speaker. Bob's your answer.

Bob has a strong voice and a wide vocal range (baritone/bass to high falsetto tenor). Bob recently released his first CD, "What Were Their Names?" He's won awards for his musical abilities. He has years of speaking experience: debater; city commissioner; vice mayor; host of a live, TV call-in talk show.

Check out Bob's Gigmasters ratings: All 5s! Bob gives every program 100 percent. He has a fine record of working with each client to learn what the client expects of the program. If possible, Bob will honor music requests.

Bob's program--FOR ALL AUDIENCES--is wholly G-rated. He's a "people person" and will often work his audience into his banter. If necessary, he can provide his own sound system--at no extra cost to the client.

The assets again:
-- Great voice
-- 5-string banjo AND 12-string guitar
-- A string of "5" Gigmasters' ratings from clients
-- Busy, "in demand" performer
-- "People person"
