Rob Flax possesses a rare combination of skills: he is an award-winning violinist, classically trained but known for his jazz and improvisational pyrotechnics and irresistible grooves, plus a deep knowledge of American fiddle traditions. He’s also a powerhouse vocalist, capable of silky crooning a la Nat King Cole or visceral Chicago blues shouts, and a consummate songwriter with lyrical depth to complement the instrumental virtuosity.
Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio adds guitar, upright bass, and three-part vocals to the mix, elevating Rob’s eclectic originals with intricate instrumental interplay, tight vocal harmonies, and irreverent humor.
Rob Flax is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator whose musical talents know no bounds. From performing with icons like B.B. King and Tower of Power to collaborating with Jacob Collier and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Rob’s versatility shines across genres. As a composer, he’s contributed to film, choreography, and original projects. In his “One Man Band” shows, Rob uses a looper pedal to transform his violin into a symphony, alongside guitar, piano, and percussion. A graduate of the New England Conservatory, Rob’s mission is to spread joy and light, inspired by Fred Rogers and his playful, creative spirit.
