Rock E Bassoon - The World's Most Dangerous Bassoon Band
"As long as you have bassoon bands, rock 'n' roll will live forever!"
- Don Stuck, Q95-Indy's Classic Rock
What is Rock E Bassoon? People don’t believe it until they see it!
REB is a rock band comprised of six tricked out, electric bassoons and a
kickin’ drummer playing classic rock like Zeppelin, The Beatles and Queen
to hits from Beyoncé and Britney Spears and everything in between.
"(Rock E Bassoon has) evolved into a musical monster, as one YouTube search will show you." - Loudwire
Based in Indianapolis, REB garnered national attention after their appearance
on The Bob and Tom Show which was heard live by over 2 million people.
International acclaim followed their performance at the 2021 conference of the International Double Reed Society. A video with YouTube sensation Joshua Lee Turner (aka 'Josh Turner Guitar') has become one of the most viewed bassoon videos on YouTube. Locally, REB has garnered a lot of media attention having been featured in the Indianapolis Star, on WTHR-TV, and on WFYI-FM. In addition to headlining their own shows, REB has opened for Here Come The Mummies at Conner Prairie, played for the Indianapolis Colts, and have been one of the top draws at Tonic Ball and other major events, drawing large enthusiastic crowds wherever they play.
REB is made up of world-class professional musicians with busy performance careers. Members of REB have performed with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Aretha Franklin,
Art Garfunkel, etc.; are members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra; are top jazz and studio musicians in Indy and beyond;
and teach music at Butler University, Indiana University, Interlochen,
University of Indianapolis, and elsewhere.
