Bands

"I’ve been working with Bob for 5 years now in various capacities as a duo, trio, and full five-piece band. His expertise is across many styles from classical to jazz, rock and pop. He is one of those once-in-a-lifetime performers whose love of music and collaboration instantly creates a comfortable environment for both bandmate and audience member. With an extensive background in performance, teaching, arranging, composing, and booking, Bob is a master of his craft. Even a seasoned musician can learn a thing or two from his decades of experience and knowledge. All of this combined with his contagious passion for music making: anyone is lucky to work with Bob!"-- Hannah Martin, Jazz Vocalist

Bob Keefe and the Surf Renegades

We are a unique, crowd-pleasing band.

Within a two-to-three hour performance you will hear a wide variety of vocal and instrumental music in the style of Surf, Pop, Spy, Twang, Noir, Spanish, Western, TV and Movie Theme Songs, and Originals. There is very little time between our songs (probably around 30 seconds).

Our songs are usually no more than three minutes in length and there are never any extended jams.

In our 14 year career as a band, we have never been asked to turn down. We always play to the size of the room and to the crowd. Several establishments have rehired us year after year because of these very facts.
