Astonishing guitar – timely and timeless …
Bob Westcott’s career began as a teenager playing guitar in the streets and coffee houses of Greenwich Village. Bob has been perfecting his elegant finger-style guitar work ever since. Both timely and timeless, his astonishing guitar playing and universally resonant songwriting have made him a perennial favorite on the Long Island scene. His performances are peppered with stories about his personal experiences, his travels and travails.
For the past decade, Bob has been studying classical guitar, and has become a member of the Long Island Classical Guitar Society. His recent compositions are reflective of those influences; combining gorgeous melodies with a classical guitar style.
It is a revelation to see how one guitar and two voices can fill a room, and fill the audience’s heart as well.
The lively acoustic duo, Princess Peapod, features the rich linen-textured vocals of Michele Frimmer, with the inventive harmonies and multi-layered guitar style of David Cook. Princess Peapod’s perceptive, upbeat and memorable songwriting has a universal appeal, reaching out to a diverse audience. They also offer up unexpected covers, with fresh, articulate arrangements that make listeners feel that they’re hearing these songs for the first time. With their feet on the ground and heads in the clouds, Dave and Michele’s candid performances are a joyful expression of the moment, leaving audiences with a smile.
