BOB FEDERER: KEYBOARDS
Bob has been playing keyboards most of his
life. In the 70's, as the keyboard player for the
Rock 'n Roll band "Bananas", he played the
clubs, toured across Canada and opened for
such greats as Wilson Pickett and Tina
Turner. When he came off the road, he
worked in the keyboard department of Long
and McQuade between 1978 and 1982. In the
1979 he became a session player and
recording engineer when he founded Round
Sound Recording Studios. Together with his
partner Domenic Troiano, they carved out a
recording and musical legacy for more than
twelve years. He has played with and done
work for celebrities such as Chuck Micallef,
George Oliver, Anne Murray Band,
Kilowatt, Lenny Breau, Moe Koffman, Dan
Hill and Oscar Peterson. He has contributed
to the musical driving force of some popular
1980's Broadcast Television shows that
included NIGHT HEAT, TOP COPS,
COUNTERSTRIKE, BLUE JAYS BASEBALL and
many others.
