The Style Shop is a true jazz collective. Formed out of the ashes of Joe's Style Shop and Soundlab Recording Studios, the Style Shop found a collective thread in a desire to bring "the standards" to life with contemporary voices and styles.

As a collective, the Style Shop often features guest musicians sitting in to suit the spirit of the venue - additional percussion, vocals, or even a dj/turn-tablist have appeared as part of the Style Shop. We can adjust our instrumentation and style to fit any needs - cafe, art gallery, corporate social, party, etc...

At its core, the Style Shop is a solid, straight-up quartet featuring:

______________

Rob has returned to the jazz scene, previously playing with Jeez Louise, laying down cool bass grooves with a twist. He also continues to play with the (now Austin,TX-based) Amazing Sweethearts and the Sonny Boy Blues Band.
