The story of
Groove Dr B
Groove Dr B is the musical journey of Australian songwriter Bob — an original artist with decades of songwriting, performing and recording behind him.
Born from a deep love of blues, blues-infused soul, southern boogie, roots rock and swamp-inspired country, Groove Dr B writes songs that feel honest, lived-in and unmistakably Australian. The music sits in the space where storytelling meets groove — patient one moment, full-hearted the next.
On stage, Bob moves naturally between intimate solo performances and full-band shows built around the deep grooves of southern boogie and roots rock. Every performance is shaped by the song and a real connection with the room.
Years in the writing, the Groove Dr B catalogue is a long-form conversation about life, place and people — original Australian music made for listeners who want something real.

It's not every day that an artist approaches their musical career in reverse, but then again, Groove Doctor Bob isn't your typical musician. A seasoned ophthalmologist by day and a blues powerhouse by night, this dynamic artist is setting the stage for something truly special.
Music has no limitations, and neither does Groove Doctor Bob. Whether performing as a duo or leading a full band, his passion for authentic, groove-driven music leaves audiences wanting more.
His Love of Music
I love that it is something invisible that comes down and picks you up and transports you to a happier place. I love the rhythm, I love the lyrics, I love the harmonies, I love the tune, I love all the ingredients that make up the recipe of music.
I love that it springs out of nothing. I love that it's creative. I love that it doesn't even have to be creative — it can make you feel good with a great simple dirge-like rhythm and some simple lyrics, or it can be as simple or complex as you want.
Inspiration & Influences
I just fell in love with the guitar the first time I saw one when I was 10 years of age. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it was true love. The moment I heard Muddy Waters and Johnny Winter I fell in love with The Blues, and I have never stopped loving it.
As Muddy Waters said, “The Blues had a baby and they named it Rock n Roll” — so it all springs from The Blues. But some of the rock artists I love range from Queen, The Beatles, Janis Joplin and Eagles. And I should mention I come from Redcliffe, where the Bee Gees got their start.
