Sanford, MI/Midland, MI world music master, teacher, student, tone-enthusiast, and forebearer of touch and musical invitation, Bryan Rombalski is ahead of everyone else when it comes to the musical curves. Guitar teacher, former classic rocker, '80s sound designer, and jazz/fusion projecting, speaking many musical languages, Rombalski has laid more ground offering his gifts as a musician from a mental standpoint, than most musicians can put on a resume. Let's fact check: played with Leslie West/Mountain, UFO, Cheap Trick, and Van Halen (hanging out with Edward on their first tour of course) while in Couture, a touring monster, was able to grasp the Robert Fripp/Adrian Belew, Andy Summers, and Talking Heads thrivent-stylistic music while in '80s and '90s cover acts, and went on to learn from masters and teach students, while maintaining regular monthly jazz sets in Midland over the past 15 or so years. Rombalski's gentle demeanor comes from invitation to participate, rather than the 'ram-it down the throat' guitar hero's which adorned the covers of the magazines.

A YouTube video initiation showcases his genius in finger style, common thread, and quartet/quintet values. Equally at home with Wayne Shorter and Wayne Kramer, or even John Coltrane and Mark Knopfler, Rombalski's ethos as a musician knows zero bounds. His studies have taken him around the world and yet he reserves space for his art, teaching and performance as his daily bread. There is only ONE Bryan Rombalski.

Turn it up--he's soft spoken with a huge sound.
