Welcome!!!!

Welcome to the  official web site of Southern California's own Trop Rock singer, songwriter, and  author Bob Karwin.  What is "Trop Rock?"  It's one party country music, one part beachside bonfire and a whole bunch of good friends having a good time.  Imagine Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson and the Eagles jamming after a night of rum jumbies.  Now you've got it.  So come on in, the virtual water is nice.......

News Notes

I just got back from Lake Charles, Louisiana where I made a whole bunch of new southern friends.  I was in town to perform at a charity event called Angels in Tropical Shirts.  The event raised $6,500.00 for breast cancer research. You can add to this number by going to their web site and picking up a copy of the cd with original trop rock tunes from some of the biggest names in the business as well as a few that you will need to know.

Announcing the 1st Annual Bob Karwin 

"What's My Name?" Cruise!

Carnival Paradise

I am so excited about this announcement.

 

Thanks to Rock N' Roll Joe LaBella of Palm Breeze Travel and Tours, we have just booked our first annual 

"What's My Name?" Carnival Cruise. Yes, you read that right.  This 3 day excursion will feature my full 

Sand Dollar Millionaires band in special ship performances as well as special guest solo acts who we can 

convince to join us.  The cruise will depart Friday, May 29, 2009 and return on Monday, June 1, 2009.  We picked this weekend because it will give everyone a chance to cool down from Phins to the West and heat up for Migration.

 

Here's the best part, the cruise is a fundraiser for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (www.pcrf-kids.com) We'll be doing raffles, silent auctions and anything else we can think of to raise money for this very important foundation.  Remember:  We Party with a Purpose!
