A slightly reworded version of Bob's own 'about me'
Pizza Bob was Bob Neace. A native of Kentucky and Florida transplant in 1988. In addition to the hotel and restaurant biz, Bob had seemingly been on stage non-stop for 25 years and a full time musician for more then ten years. Bob rocked the high seas for 9 years as a part of Starz on Stage with Sterling Casino Lines. He also produced sold-out, high demand variety shows with Starz on Stage throughout Florida.
In addition to a love of full-time producing and performing, he always arrived back at songwriting as his main source of satisfaction. Listen close and you will hear a wide variety of influences from Van Morrison to George Jones. From the highly acclaimed sounds of "Saturday" to the soul stirring "Ground Zero", his music appeals to all who hear it.
Pizza Bob was married for 10 years to Kathleen and is the proud father of 4 boys. Pizza Bob was a regional finalist for the Nashville Star television show. He was an alternate or a semi finalist for every year he has auditioned.
Pizza Bob last performances were as a solo acoustic act and with the band "Rock Foundation".
