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 recent video with YouTube sensation Joshua Lee Turner (aka 'Josh Turner Guitar') has quickly become one of the most viewed bassoon videos on YouTube. A fixture of Indy's local music scene, REB has been featured in the Indianapolis Star, on WTHR-TV, and on WFYI-FM; have 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,
Yo-Yo Ma, 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, Interlochen, DePauw University, and elsewhere.
