Stan “CallMeBob” Chalicki

I perform a diverse blend of Blues, Folk and Swing as well as provocative original songs on acoustic and bottleneck guitar, ranging from passionate renditions of traditional Blues classics to sardonic observations on the human condition along with the joys and regrets from my own experience. 

My interest in music started in Germany, when my Mom turned me on to American pop playing on the Armed Forces Network. In America, I took up guitar during the folk-music revival of the 60s, being influenced by artists such as Sam Cooke, Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Sarah Vaughn, Rev. Gary Davis, Elvis Presley, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan, Doc Watson, Chuck Berry, etc, etc, not to mention every fellow musician from whom I’ve ever stolen a lick. Still learning, you know...
