Rob Reich is a well known accordionist, pianist, and composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. A talented instrumentalist and an inventive composer, and solo performer, Rob can be heard playing with many top notch ensembles. He is a member of Tin Hat, Gaucho and The Nice Guy Trio, and freelances with many other Bay Area bands.
Rob graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Composition from Oberlin Conservatory. As a composer, Rob has strong fundamentals; stylistic breadth; and an original, irreverent voice. Rob is composer / music director for Circus Bella, and in 2011 released a Kickstarter-funded CD of original music for a 10-piece band.
In 2010, Rob was commissioned by the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival to compose “Sidewalks and Alleys”, performed and recorded on this CD by the Nice Guy Trio and an all-star string quartet. Rob has written music for various collaborative projects ranging a sexy double trapeze act, the score to a beautiful dance film noir, to a silly song about shoes.
