BIOGRAPHY
Robb Lotta started his musical journey as a drummer at age 5, however, at the age of 11 after hearing the music of Kiss and Van Halen he switched to the guitar. By the age of 13 he had already played his first professional gig. At age 15 he formed local metal band Fallen Angel. They recorded a few demos and opened up for many national acts in upstate N.Y. and began to generate quite a buzz on the local scene. The Fallen Angel song Sinners Vengeance even went to no. 10 on a German radio metal show. They were offered a record deal which eventually fell through and after being discouraged Robb went on to diversify his musical endeavors. Robb continued to play with several local bands of many differant styles including Metal, Rock, Funk, Blues and Jazz. Eventually Robb decided to further educate himself musically by attending classes at Mcc, Nazareth College, and Eastman School of Music. He has studied Jazz Guitar and theory with Dave Frackenpohl (Michael Brecker) Classical guitar with Matthew Ardizzone (Finger Lakes Guitar Quartet). Music theory with Dr. Margaret Henry and Dr. Roger Bookout, both of whom were students of world reknown composer Samuel Adler and legendary theorist Howard Hanson. He also participated in several classical guitar master classes with artists such as Antigoni Goni, Fabio Zanon, Christopher Parkening, and The Assad Bros. Robb has played with some of the most respected musicians (Bands) in the Upstate N.Y. area including, Fallen Angel (metal), Jellyroll (funk), Dag Nasty (rock), Cheese (metal), Nasty Trast (metal), Uttaro (rock), Jon Doe (alt. experimental), Chasin the Voodoo (Al DiMeola tribute), Hang em' High (Van Halen Tribute), Rampage (southern rock), Robb Lotta Trio (jazz fusion), The heaviest thing on earth (nu metal) which also featured Bassist Andy Ramirez of Greg Howe (parallax album). Robb continues on his journey today now playing with Joey Belladonna of Anthrax. They are currently touring and writing material for a new record. Robb is also working on a concept album with Fallen Angel as well as recording his first solo guitar instrumental CD, both of which will be available in early 2008.
