ABOUT THE BAND MEMBERS

Rob McLeod:

Lead Vocals/Lead Electric & Acoustic Guitars

A resident of Victorville California since 1965…Rob is a seasoned professional guitar player, who is always in demand. Besides playing with “The Working Poets” a band which Rob named by the way, he is constantly called upon to sit in and guest with other local and regional bands. Rob was bitten by the music fever in his 7th grade art class party. Creedence Clearwater Revival’s version of Good Golly Miss Molly was playing. That was the moment I was stung, smitten with the music bug at age 12 and I'm still at it. “Music is my passion to give; it’s my dance in life”. “I want to keep putting it out there, that it may stir the listener’s own unique passion in life”. Rob is also an accomplished song writer, who likes to play acoustic solo performances as well as with The Working Poets. Rob also owns his own construction business and remodels homes.
