Playing Nightly Bobby Van Deusen

  Bobby Van Deusen

Come out and listen to Bobby van Deusen, a Philadelphia native, Bobby his musical training at age seven. Precocious from a very early age, he started picking out tunes by mimicking the family player piano. Classically trained, he attended Whetstone School of the Performing Arts in Columbus, Ohio, graduating with distinction. Further studies at Capital University, Ohio State, Eastman, and Curtis, helped develop his dazzling technique, a trademark of his playing. Turning pro in 1976, he toured the Midwest playing clubs, piano bars, and shows. Moving south in 1985 led him to the Rosie O’Grady’s Dixieland Band, and gigs in New Orleans with Pete Fountain, Al Hirt, and The Dukes. He performed with the Delta Queen Steamboat Company for five years, perfecting his stride and ragtime styles. Bobby has played all over the country with Hilton Hotels, notably the Hilton at Sandestin, where he was featured entertainer for five years. He has been the “House Band” for RadioLive, a production of WUWF Public Radio, for 18 years and is currently touring, playing Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with civic orchestras around the country.
