LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Vaud and the Villains guitarist Rob Reischak is taking his eclectic guitar style to the Sunset Strip when he performs with actress/singer
Glennellen Anderson (“Stranger Things”) on June 1 at the Whisky a Go Go, 8901
Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069.
“I am very excited to perform at a great club like the
Whisky,” Reischak said. “It’s such an iconic venue! A truly honor to perform on
the same stage that so many legendary musicians like The Doors, The Byrds,
Frank Zappa and so many others have performed.”
Reischak will perform cover songs along with
compositions written by Anderson who is known for her recurring role in the
Netflix horror drama “Stranger Things.”
“Glennellen is very talented artist with a great feel
for her music and a gift for putting together strong lyrics with powerful
melodies,” he said.
For Anderson, the Whisky a Go Go performance will be a
showcase of complimentary talents: “I first met Rob when singing for one of my
best friends’ show. The rehearsals alone proved his dedicated work ethic as
well as his ridiculous musical talents,” Anderson said. “I don’t believe in
limits. Period. I like to mix all the genres to create my own style. Some pop,
some rock and roll, a little jazz, and little soul, and little R&B. Even
some opera and musical theatre training + style gets throw into my music. I
classify myself as ‘alternative,’ because it’s the most all-encompassing genre.”
Reischak is known for his unique melodic stylings
that blend, pop, rock, jazz and rhythm and blues for Vaud and the Villains and other artists.
Born in Porto Alegre,
in Brazil’s Southern region, Rob took up the guitar at age 14 after he saw his
friends take guitar lessons. His passion for the instrument only grew over the years, ultimately taking him to the U.S. where he
enrolled in Hollywood’s acclaimed Musicians Institute.
“Since I started playing the guitar I had this dream
of studying music in the US. The music and musicians that I used to listen to and
to study from were all from here. I wanted to go to the place where that music
was happening,” he said.
After graduating with honors from the Musicians
Institute, Reischak found himself performing on other bands’ records and live
shows, gaining a reputation for creative riffs and solos and solid musicianship
as well as the ability to go from one genre to another with ease. His talents
soon took him to Vaud and the Villains where he has flourished and helped give
the jazz band a more modern sound.
“My background I would say is rock music. But I listen
to jazz since I was young. My favorite band is Toto,” he said. “I like a
variety of music styles actually. From rock to jazz, blues, pop, funk, folk and
country music. As a session musician is important for me to be able to play all
kinds of style, and to be a versatile player.”
Among the musicians he’s recorded with in the studio and
performed with are the singer/songwriter Alexandria Corn, the keyboardist Henry
Soleh Brewer (Earth, Wind & Fire), and the producer Albert Lim, to name a
few. He’s also set to record the next Vaud and the Villains’ album this year.
Even as he prepares to kick off a summer tour by Vaud
and the Villains, next month, Reischak is already planning his first solo album
featuring a slew of songs he has composed over the years.
