At an early age Riverside Rob Draganski discovered a love for playing guitar. With beginner instruction from his father and hours of practice it was easy to see his lifes path. Never having a lesson but having an extraordinary ear for music gives him an edge for learning that most will never have.
After playing at Jodys Blue Room (Pell Lake, WI) at the age of 15, Rob quickly discovered that he was born to play the blues. Jody Noa took Rob under his wing and dubbed him Riverside Rob. Having Noa as his mentor helped Rob develop a blues style that improved every time he picked up his guitar.
Now at the prime age of 21, Riverside Rob has had the privilege of playing with some of the most prominent and well-known blues players including:
Jody Noa and The Sho Nuff Blues Band, Lonnie Brooks, John Primer and The Real Deal, Chicago Fire Horns, Michael Coleman and The Backbreakers, Patrick Doody, John Falstrom, Jimmy Kenny, The Real Deal (Kenosha), Steve Ditzell, Mike Gibb. Benny and the Jets, Milwaukee Slim, and many more.
