About Jock Rockenbach

Jock Rockenbach plays it all: Blues, Rock, Folk, Jazz, Soul, and R&B! Over the past twenty five years, the performer BAM Magazine called, "the guitar ace of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene," has been counted on to supply his skills to a wide variety of projects - from musical theater to raunchy blues. Since moving from Chicago to San Francisco in 1976, he has performed up and down the West Coast - Seattle to Tijuana - drawing on his appetite for different musical styles and spicy food. Although he holds a BA degree with Honors in Classical Guitar, Jock is best known for his blues/roots "guitar pyrotechnics" (Sacramento Bee), and is a popular fixture in Bay Area clubs. He tours Europe annually and has played with a long list of stellar artists in concert, nightclub, television, and radio appearances including Roger Daltry, John Lee Hooker, Chris Isaak, and Nick Lowe. As Assistant Musical Director for the annual BAMMIES award show, he has had the good fortune to perform with many of his heroes including Bonnie Raitt, Buck Owens, and Greg Allman. Jock appeared in the role of Lead Guitarist (and Multi-instrumentalist) in the theater production of DYLAN: WORDS AND MUSIC at San Francisco's Zephyr Theatre, as well as the central character, vocalist, guitarist, and composer in "FAB! a 60'S HIT MUSICAL" at San Francisco's Alcazar Theatre. Jock recently released his self-produced CD, "Can't Kick The Habit," on Wellington Records, which received a prestigious nomination from the Bay Area Music Awards. He balances his performance career with a thriving practice as a guitar instructor and music coach, thrilled to pass on to eager students his passion for music along with his bemused and skeptical view of Rock 'n' Roll mythology. Like many bandleaders, Mr. Rockenbach doesn't do requests. As such, he has repeatedly refused to leave town. __ Website: Jock Rockenbach
