BOB SEMMEL Lead Guitar: Bob plays lead guitar like he was born with it. He has always been influenced by various players such as Brad Paisley and Brent Mason some of the re-noun guitarists in Nashville. Bob owns just about every custom made guitar that was played by national artists including Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks and Eddie Van Halen. His circle of musician friends can tend to be very prestigious. We call Bob, Bob Paisley because of his playing style. He is particular about his sound and it has to be perfect. I believe you will hear a combination of these Musicians in his playing today. Bob Hails from Northampton, PA
