A SPECIAL THANK YOU
This tour wouldn't sound nearly as good without a little help from some very talented friends.
​
A huge thank you to Jeff Meacham, a professional actor and voiceover artist — and a friend of Rob's since their college days back in New York — for bringing the stories of Pasadena to life throughout the tour.
​
And thank you to Aarya Ganesan for lending her audio talents to the project. You may hear some fun music and a little extra cinematic flavor underneath a few of the stories along the way.
​
You can hear more of Aarya's work on her voice demo reel.
​
Thank you, Jeff & Aarya, for helping make our Pasadena drive a little more special.
