During this period Bob also played in Joe Val's band (The New England Bluegrass Boys). After playing with The Northern Valley Boys, The Kennebec Valley Boys and Bluegrass Supply Company in Maine, Bob left for Tucson, AZ in December of 1981 and joined The Titan Valley Warheads shortly thereafter. After moving to Reno, NV in 1987, he started woking with the High Strung Band in late 1988. A few years later Feather River was formed with Erik Thomas. Bob left for Florida in 1997 where the Cypress Creek Band was formed which lasted 4 1/2 years. Back in AZ in 2003, Bob started looking for people to pick with and found John Thompson at the Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival. Late 2004 the Copper River Band was formed with John, Jim Govern, and Charlie Edsall. CRB has since transitioned into its current lineup.
