Rob Ickes' appealing Dobro stylings make him one of the leading new voices in contemporary acoustic music.' --David 'Dawg' Grisman Great music comes from taking chances. Rob Ickes has learned that lesson and learned it well. Since emerging on the national bluegrass scene a decade ago, Rob has developed into one of the premier pickers on the circuit, being named IBMA's 'Dobro Player of the Year' in both 1996 and '97, and winning critical acclaim with his 1997 solo recording debut, Hard Times, a delightful and adventuresome blend of bluegrass and blues. Slide City is a heady mixture of bluegrass, jazz, and rock and features Rob backed by a versatile combo with special guests Tim O'Brien and Suzanne and Sidney Cox.
