Jimmy Webb loved the record. Bonnie Raitt loved the record. Sting loved the record. Carly Simon loved the record. The band Panic at The Disco loved the record. The producers of the Kennedy Center Honors loved the record. Rob ended up working closely with all of those people and more. Bruce Springsteen's Western Stars, the famed Kennedy Center Honors version of Stairway to Heaven by Heart performed to honor Jimmy Page,&nbsp;Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, Sting's The Last Ship (for which Rob was nominated for a Tony Award), Panic at The Disco's Pretty.Odd., Weezer's OK Human with the LA Phil, We Are One-the Obama Inauguration at the Lincoln Memorial Concert, and the opening of David Geffen Hall with The New York Phil; all these share Rob as Music Director and Arranger. Everything began with Evening Train, a blues and gospel drenched record of Rob's songs with Strings and Horns and the extraordinary rhythm section of Will Lee on Bass, Shawn Pelton on Drums and Billy Masters on Guitar. For these four shows on September&nbsp;11th and 12th, they will play the entire record top to bottom and more. An incredible group of musicians with some of the best Horn players in the universe and the great Blues Singer Vaneese Thomas in tow.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a "DO-NOT-MISS"!!! A Deluxe Remastered Double Vinyl Release from Masterdisk will be available at the shows (with bonus cuts and photographs from the recording sessions.)&nbsp;Thursday and Friday, September 11th and 12th, 7:15 and 9:30 shows/6:30 doors.&nbsp;
