Ernie has worked in every area of the music industry, and his roots go back to the days when big band and jazz was Pop Music.

Bob later toured with Billy & Franklin Graham for over 10 years and is currently a producer with wildly successful music software company Spectrasonics, whose products Omnisphere, Stylus, Keyscape, and more are used every day by A-List music producers and film, tv, and, game composers.
