"Supreme songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist Bob Hausler is a great story teller, collaborator, instigator as well as a promoter of other fine independent songwriters. Friend to all he meets, there isn't a good song that escapes his fine ear. Humor is his forte, but tearjerkers follow close behind. He always offers a heartfelt performance of his own fine songs or covers." - Trish Lewis - Wucx-Fm Eclectic Chair

"Bob Hausler is a versatile musician who has played guitar and keyboards in countless Mid-Michigan bands. Many, including me, have called on Bob as a sideman and as an accompanist because of his natural feel and passion for music. More recently, you can find Bob writing commercial quality songs and doing gigs as a solo performer. He's always a pro, always top-notch." Jamie-Sue Seal, Smokin' Sleddog Records Artist/Agent
