Live performance by Grove City 1993 graduate, Rob Adams and The New Problem featuring classic rock, 80s, blues, country and today’s rock favorites.

They will be joined onstage by Grove City Alumni Mark Chatfield of the The Godz, Rosie and Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band.

During the concert, the band will take a 30-minute break, at which time announcements will be made for the softball tournament Grove City High School Hall of Fame induction ceremony from 8:15-8:30 p.m.

About Rob Adams I love playing music! I’ve always said that when playing music becomes a job I would quit and well … After 24 years of playing, I’m still at it and loving it more and more each day. I strive to be the best entertainer I can be and try to bring variety and comedy to my shows. I play a wide range of styles including classic rock, blues, country, 80’s, and today’s rock. I try to keep my music fresh and learn what is popular on the radio as well as the ol’ sing along’s that everybody knows. I can promise a great time and a memorable experience …

Born in 1975, I grew up in Grove City, Ohio and graduated from the Grove City High School in 1993 (Go Hounds!!). I started playing at age thirteen when I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas (Thanks Dad!). Three years later some high school friends and I created the country band Rais’n Ruckus. We even won the Grove City Arts In The Alley Talent Show in 1993! For the next

We look forward to providing each person with a truly exceptional experience while treating them to the very best service.

“

Growing up in Grove City and graduating from GCHS, I am very excited to be coming home to play the Alumni Celebration! I have watched bands on that stage for years and always wanted to be up there playing for my hometown.”

— ROB ADAMS

six years we played just about every AMVETS and VFW in and around central Ohio. In 1998 I started working with Nashville recording artist, Rose Kaiser and the Steel Water Band, first as a sound tech then moving up to acoustic guitarist. In 1999 I met Mark O’Neil and started the Top 40 alternative band “Bad Little Monkey”.

BLM was on the rise and things were going great but as they say … “All good things must come to an end”. In 2003, I answered an ad for a band looking for a singer. I auditioned and WillyJack & the PoleCats, a classic rock and blues band, was born. Eleven years and a couple of lineup changes later brought us to Rob Adams & the PhatCats, a high-energy variety band rockin’ and rollin’ and making people move on the dance floor. The PhatCats played all over central Ohio until spring of 2014. After consideration of giving up a band all together and just playing as a solo acoustic act I decided there was no way I could do it, I would just miss the fun too much! Sooo, some calls were made and “Rob Adams and The New Problem” was formed. Still a fun timmin‘, boot scootin‘, booty shakin‘, good music playin‘ band! When I’m not playing music, I’m saving lives and putting out fires at my fulltime job as a firefighter.
