Band Website: MYSPACE.COM/BOBTROMBLEY

growing up in the small town of Tupper Lake, N.Y. Bob Trombley had everything he wanted in the surrounding beauty of th Adirondack Mountains and a passion for music he shared with his parents.
But when he was 10 yrs. old his family moved to a suburb of Buffalo, N.Y. Transplanted from the rural mountain home he loved to the big city, Bob spent several years trying unsuccessfully to fit in, and at the tender age of 13 found the one thing that helped ease his lonlieness and pain: drugs.
the next eight years of his life were rulled by his addiction, and at the age of 21, Bob found himself in the emergency room for a possible overdose. As he lay hooked up to an EKG machine to monitor his racing heart beat, he realized that there had to be more to life than what he'd been living.
His family were Christian so he knew about God. He also knew that he hadn't met very many Christians his age to whom he could relate. Christianity seemed as lonely an option as drugs. Literally scared for his life, he told God that he'd commit to Him if He would send him other Christians his own age who were down-to-earth and who shared his passion for music.
Two weeks later and drug free, but itching to use again, Bob went to a men's fellowship meeting and sat across from a guy his own age. After meeting the two ended up talking and, realizing they had a lot in common, became fast friends. not long after, Bob got a call from the local band True Ambition. They were looking for a guitar player; he was ready to play again."The rest is history," Bob says. God had answered his prayers above and beyond his expectations. The drug cravings were gone. He'd found a circle of friends his age and was actively involved in a Cristian rock band.

His skills as lead guitarist were evident from the start and helped to carry the band to new heights landing the band gigs at such premiere venues as Six Flags Darien Lake and at the Liberty Pole in the heart of downtown Rochester. Says former founder, drummer, and lead singer of True Ambition Ben Woelk; The skills and ability that Bob brought to the band were immeasurable, his ability and technical skills as lead guitarist along with his songwriting abilities gave the band an entire new identity, one that found us success and a musical identity we had been looking for all along. His amazing versatility has become apparent, as his musical transformation has taken him from a punk & grunge rocker to revealing a deeper aspect of his music with his new acoustic debut, Winner of Rock the Mic battle of the bands in upstate, NY .Bob has the ability to connect the audience with his music and finds that lyrics are the basis for which he communicates. Songs such as Fight This reveal the poetic ability he possesses when he sings, "looking at the cold dark sky, the sun is setting now, a slight shade of orange and grey I'm trying so hard but I feel like I'm losing this race.” The depth and measure of what Bob communicates is his desire to truly connect to the audience that is before him. The range of Bobs talents in his technical ability, songwriting, and lyricism create a strongly deep music that reaches out to people and then reaches to something deeper within.

When True Ambition split up in 2006, Bob, armed with just his guitar, started playing coffeehouses and churches all over the country. His debut solo CD is aptly named PUSHING ON, emphasizing his message that no matter what you're going through, Christ is always there. He also volunteers at a local housing project with at-risk youth, spending his free time playing video games, hanging out, and sharing a weekly message about God.
