Rob Ickes - 15x IBMA Dobro Player of the Year - “It’s important to push yourself...”

Rob Ickes Interview: Making the leap of faith moving from San Francisco to Nashville, observing the traits of successful studio musicians and using them as a role model for his own success, the “non music” components that have helped him succeed… stories about playing with Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, David Grisman, Mike Auldridge, Jorma Kaukonen, David Lee Roth, Earl Scruggs, Marty Stuart, Trey Hensley, Merle Haggard… overcoming the stigma of being a struggling musician, pushing himself forward, his 33 year relationship with his wife, and more.
