Comments from Club Owners and Managers:
"Rod has
played for quite some time on alternate Friday nights and occasional
special club events. We have seen a marked increase in our business at
the club when Rod is playing and I attribute 100% of that increase to
him."
"Rod brings with him a diverse repertoire and variety which allows him to reach
across generations and bring enjoyment to all. I have had customers and
members of all ages attend the club when Rod is playing and everyone
enjoys themselves. Rod is very interactive with the crowd which
certainly adds to the fun."
“Rod
plays a wonderful array of genres that mix well with our upscale, yet
casual customer base at Cork Café. Best of all, he always draws a
crowd!”

Garage recordings get us by, but the live music is much better.
A sweet thought from a great friend and music lover:
Not only is rod an amazing musician, but he is a unique and refreshing soul. One can tell when meeting Rod and talking to him that he genuinely cares about people. The joy Rod gets in performing his music is obvious but just as obvious is the joy of pleasing others, providing them the gift of escape, joy, and memories. This world truly needs more Rods. I sincerely mean every word of this.Cindy
