Bob Grubel is a singer/songwriter who has recorded 9 cd's of music.

His latest CD, Dance When Your Soul Brings You Near, was released in late 2006. Before that recording Bob released a "new age" instrumental CD, Rivers From The Sun in 2005, with intricate and beautiful melodies performed on piano, keyboards, Lakota flute, recorder and harmonica, all played by Bob (with one exception).

Bob's main instrument is the piano which he has played since his youth. His funky/smooth, spontaneous style has a distinctive character that has emerged over the years as he has grown as a player/writer. Bob often plays lengthy spontaneous selections and has "channeled" music for others during healing ceremonies, both vocal and instrumental.

Bob is a certified massage therapist and works with developmentally challenged individuals. His work as a massage therapist gave him understanding of how musical expressions enhance healing. The music on Rivers From the Sun came surrounded by the intention to be of use for relaxation, inspiration, meditation and for massage and energy work.

As a singer/songwriter Bob Grubel has appeared in many venues over his lifetime of song. As early as 7 years old he began singing in church and local choirs. He appeared with choirs in Carnegie Hall and St. John's Cathedral in New York City. Throughout his twenties and thirties he sang with several several folk/rock bands and began to explore writing music.

Bob began recording in 1987 releasing three early albums on cassette only. In 1991 he released his first CD titled Lifetimes and Ages. This CD contains beautiful, full arrangements with soaring vocal selections and rich tonal qualities enhanced by great acoustic performances.

In 1994 he released his first CD with Grace Note titled I Always Dreamed of Flying. Bob has performed with the trio since 1991 in many venues across the mid-Atlantic states. Bob and Grace Note have performed at many Unity Churches throughout the southeast as well. In 2001 Grace Note also released The Fragrance of the Rose.

In 1997 Bob released another solo effort, Keep the Light Burning. This CD has many guest musicians, three tracks with a choir, and is perhaps his most ambitious studio project to date.

The lyrical content has always been chosen to uplift the listener and many songs come as if a gift of greater understanding is being offered for Bob as well as the listener. Sometimes profound, sometimes simple, the lyrics will open tears, laughter, and familiar smiles.

During the last thirty years music and song have come to Bob in many different ways. He has received 7 songs in his dreams all of which contain powerful lyrics about how to live in this time of challenge and change.

Bob has lived in Floyd, VA. since 1980. He currently lives with Florence in a home he built over the past decade, located in an intentional community named Zephyr. Bob has two daughters (Amy and Dolphin) who have grown and 'left the nest', creating exceptional lives for themselves.
