Robert Wegmann (b 1963) American pop musician & multi-instrumentalist from Tampa, Florida. Has released several solo albums under his own name and has worked with several other people including prog musician Sean Malone, Russian accordion duo Nina & Lena, and session drummer/producer Mark Prator. Most recently he has released a collaborative disc with guitarist Tim Mullally.
Wegmann's music is a curious fusion of The Beatles, XTC, King Crimson, and Bill Nelson. This unconventional mixture of styles may raise some dubious eyebrows, but the music swiftly brings proof to this strange comparison, blending the frivolous frenzy of XTC with the serious fury of King Crimson, tempering it all with the slippery humor of Bill Nelson. The result is unexpected and satisfying. His enthusiastic pop tunes are affirming and thoroughly engaging.
