About Robert

Robert Rosina · singer & guitarist

Robert Rosina performing acoustic guitar for an audience in an intimate room
Robert RosinaSolo · duo · jazz by request

I’m a singer and guitarist with loads of experience performing upbeat tunes that keep the atmosphere lively!

Performing classic rock, pop and tavern classics including fun sea shanties, I move between acoustic guitar and full backing tracks with electric guitar for a bigger, more energetic sound.

I’m also available as a duet with R&B singer and guitarist Daniel Ross for even more variety!

My jazz set is available on request too and works well for canapés and cocktail hours.

Bookings range from a single set to a full 3- or 4-set show. I provide my own PA and equipment and suit pubs, clubs, wineries, breweries, weddings and private functions.

Book early to guarantee availability!
