Rob and Amy are a local band comprised of two Brock students and an outside lead guitarist. The band plays at Isaac's Bar and Grill almost every Tuesday night at 10:30 pm and go until close around 2 am. Each band member plays guitar and has their own distinct vocal sound, which they use to play a wide array of music genres. Rob and Amy are mostly a cover band, playing music by Counting Crows, Live, Oasis, Matchbox 20, Our Lady Peace, Billy Joel, Brian Adams, U2, Nirvana and Def Leopard to name a few, as well as a few of Rob's own songs.
Tuesday nights are pretty quiet around Isaac's unless there is a big concert event being held. It is mostly just a few senior students hanging out relaxing and having a few drinks while they play pool and chat with their friends. Everyone is very casual and informal and Rob can be heard making cracks about his friends in the crowd in between songs or a beer.
