Atlantic Records. In 2003, he
landed a record deal on Atlantic/

The band toured the world with
acts such as John Mayer, Sheryl
Crow, The Doobie Brothers,
ZZTop, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Foo
Fighters and more. After two years
on the road, he started playing
with Southside Johnny and the
Asbury Jukes, and is still currently
playing with Johnny. Last winter,
Bobby also started playing with
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but
left them to tour with Jesse Malin.
Right now he is playing with
various acts as a freelancer and
frequently with Southside. He has
lost contact with many of his NA
friends, but thought it was great to
get the NA holiday postcard. Bobby
has started his own management
agency and is currently managing
Universal Recording Artist Lillian
Garcia, along with his own career.
