Bob Pinnola "Guitarist at Law" 

He grew up in the Five Towns, began teaching himself how to play a Lone Ranger guitar he got for Christmas at age 6... back when he was in first grade at Our Lady of Good Counsel elementary school in Inwood.  He hasn't stopped playing music since, going on to form many bands including: a rock band with a horn section at Lawrence High School called the "Harry Schwartz Orchestra" (the name of the band was never fully figured out, in that it was not actually an orchestra and no one in the band was named Harry or Schwartz); a classic rock and jam band "Dreamwork" at SUNY Albany (before those rich Hollywood guys ripped off the name of Bob's band, which Bob had originally ripped off from some wacky dude named Sigmund Freud who he learned about in Psychology 101 class); and a rock jazz fusion band in Albany Law School called "Driving While Intelligent".  Bob also plays in an acoustic jam band appropriately called "The Jammers" with his college buddy and fellow attorney Bob Cinque. He is the drummer in "The Ally Dogs" with his daughter-in-law Ally and son Ben, which features Ally's original songs. Bob has been playing solo acoustic guitar and vocal gigs since his coffeehouse days of the late 1970's up to today, always mixing in his original songs with songs by his favorite artists.  Bob is the "Founding Brother" of the band, playing lead, rhythm and slide electric and acoustic guitars, as well as singing and scat singing, playing piano, bass, harmonica, drums, congas, banjo, mandolin, tambourine and, of course, when necessary... cowbell. He enjoys telling jokes and stories, often interacting with the crowd in between songs (and sometimes during songs!)  Bob writes many of the songs that the band performs. You can listen to his original music on the Suburban Brothers Band's Spotify Channel, as well on YouTube. Bob also has his own Spotifiy and YouTube channels. He is presently taking his music in a new direction, working on a classical piece he has written entitled "Another Spring", which is being arranged for a wind and string ensemble. Over the years, Bob's musical philosophy... No matter what kind of music you are playing, always play with heart, energy and style.
