He was primarily a session musician and sideman to a variety of notable artists. Early lifeeditAt an early age, Birch was inspired to pursue music by his father Chet, an upright bassist. Birch began playing the alto saxophone, mirroring the styles of Paul Desmond and Cannonball Adderley. He learned quickly and was soon recognized by the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association through his 1st place finishes at music festival competitions. Around 7th grade, Birch tried out the electric bass, from his fascination for the Motown sound, as well as groups like Chicago, Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and the overall mesmerizing sound of the Fender bass coming across the radio waves. One day he picked up his junior high band director Art Driess Mosrite bass during school lunch and something about it felt totally right. Because he also had a strong passion for the classical side of music, Birch focused his school studies on the bassoon. In high school, Birch played with many bands playing sax, bass, as well as bassoon. As a senior in high school, he won the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award. He received a competitive scholarship from the state of Michigan to enroll in Wayne State University in Detroit and study Pre Medicine. After he began college Birch played six nights a week amidst the Detroit club scene while attending classes during the day. His love for music swayed him quickly from the Pre Medicine major. Birch went on to graduate with a bachelors degree in Music Education and Performance from Wayne State. Soon after graduating from college, Birch joined a band with his brother Dan and sister in law Martha, becoming one of the top bands on the Detroit circuit. While performing at lounges in local hotels, Birch met many musicians from some of the top touring bands of the time including the Doobie Brothers, George Benson, Chicago and Barry Manilow. The conversations he had with these artists influenced him to decide to move to Los Angeles and take a stab at the big time music scene. He arrived in Los Angeles in 1. Michael Paulo at the musicians union started things off for Birch. Michael invited Birch to his house to jam, and while there he met Akio Katsuyama, a jazz pianist from Osaka, Japan. Akio needed a bassist for his trio and hired Birch on the spot. The gig was an opportunity and learning experience for Birch. While they played together, Akio turned Birch onto the Watanabe method of jazz, and Birch helped Akio with his English. With his musical drive, Birch continued to look for other avenues of performance. He auditioned for and joined every band he could. His momentum continued to build as he was able to get hired for multiple recording dates. He started to get a small toe in the door of the L. A. music scene while doing every demo he could as well as playing with his long time friend and established musician, drummer Gregg Bissonette, on a Jazzercise multi platinum record. Finally, in 1. 98. Fortune. Birchs good friend and mentor from Detroit, drummer Jimmy Hunter, recommended him to the band and soon after they signed a record deal with CamelMCA. Their debut record with producer Kevin Beamish included the single, Stacey, on which Birch played bass and saxophone. Stacey made it on the Billboard Hot 1. The record was stalled after three singles and Birch recognized that he needed to continue looking for other opportunities. He remained in the music scene by playing gigs every night and joining as many bands as possible. During this time, he was able to meet and play with L. A. s finest musicians. A notable band he had joined at that time was with legendary L. A. vocalist Rainey. Birch valued the friendship and camaraderie of every musician he met during this time. Later in 1. 98. 5, he met keyboardist, Guy Babylon. They recorded together on the Luis Cardenas debut album Animal Instinct which went on to get a Grammy nomination. They made a great team together while playing with and recording for many artists. In 1. 98. 8, Guy recommended Bob for Mark Ashtons band. Bob joined the band which included famed drummer Zak Starkey, and after a few showcases for record companies Ashton was signed by RCA. The debut album was recorded at A M studios with the producer Paul Rothchild, who is most known for his brilliant work with The Doors. The album was initially highly acclaimed, but unfortunately it did not enjoy the needed commercial success. At that time, Guy Babylon was asked to join Elton Johns band. Because Guy was involved with the Ashton band, he came to Bob asking what he should do. Bob responded with a convincing What are you waiting for, and Guy proceeded to leave Ashton and join John. Bob continued his search for more gigs and was incredibly fortunate to be hired by percussionist Bob Conti for a spot in Jose Felicianos band. Bob was extremely happy to join Feliciano, being a huge fan of his music and reminiscing on the fact that Light My Fire was the first album he ever bought. He set off on a world tour with Feliciano which lasted four years. Bob had a blast and described Feliciano as a monster player and the band as a great hang. In between touring dates, Bob would return to Los Angeles and dig up more contacts which brought more gigs. Fate would soon shine down once again. When Elton John ended his tour in 1. Guy Babylon introduced Bob to the pinball wizards longtime guitar slinger, Davey Johnstone. At that time, Davey, Guy, and longtime John drummer Nigel Olsson were about to make a record together and asked Bob to join them. They named their band Warpipes, and their album debuted in 1. Everyone who heard the album loved it, but it was met with the usual management and record company obstacles. The project stalled, and Guy and Davey were called to begin Johns The One album in Paris. A bit discouraged but never losing his drive, Bob proceeded to once again hit the streets to find more playing opportunities. As The One tour was about to begin, Elton asked legendary bassist Pino Palladino to join him. Pino was forced to decline because his wife was scheduled to give birth. Elton asked Davey Johnstone if he knew any bassists who could fill the spot and Davey replied by saying, Weve been playing with this cat Bob Birch in LA. How about we give him a try On February 1. Elton agreed and asked Davey to call Bob, which began what the Detroit born bassist calls sideman heaven. When asked about his new spot in Eltons group he always responded that he couldnt ask for a better gig. Birch continued to respond after being asked about his feelings on joining Eltons band by stating, Not only is the music fantastic, but the bass lines are classic and Elton is a gem. He is like family I love him dearly and truly value our personal and musical relationship with all of my heart. Being Eltons touring and primary recording bassist obviously opened up more avenues for Birch in his musical career. Once again, in between gigs with Elton, Bob was back in L. A. looking for even more playing opportunities.
