Bob Teske
Guitar/Keys/Vocals

Bob’s musical journey began at a very early age with a passion for guitar. Inspired by a variety of musical genres and the huge pool of talent in the Midwest Region, his primary influences became centered on gospel, R&B, and dance music.

After being spotted by a booking agent who was attending his High School open house, he travelled through the states with a touring show band playing the bass. Upon returning to the Midwest, he played in nearly every type of venue and built a reputation for bringing the dance groove to every musical format.

He has moved from Hartke to an Eden Platform of amps and cabinets and is currently playing an Eden WT-550 head which is driving a 4 ohm 2x10 xlt cabinet at 550 watts for fully reinforced gigs. When playing out, Bob likes to switch over to an 8 ohm Eden 410T cabinet stacked with an Eden D112xt for the deep bass that really gets folks out of their chairs.

Bob is still playing his dependable Alvarez 5 string equipped with passive Bartolini PJ pickups and his MusicMan 4 string sunburst fretless rigged with Seymour Duncan active electronics. This year he began to move into a new level of playing when he picked up a Stagg Electric Upright Bass. He is still in the learner’s chair but is grabbing every opportunity to gig with it.
