Rob Araujo Trio and  BrandonLee Cierley play at the Jack London

Rob Araujo
Music had always been a part of Rob’s life, having studied classical piano and jazz saxophone since childhood. Ironically, it wasn’t until he began a Biology major at Cornell University that he truly fell in love with music. After being exposed to everything from Brad Mehldau and Bill Evans to Robert Glasper and J Dilla, Rob began posting videos of his own covers and originals, garnering a wide reaching audience and leading to collaborations with Tom Misch, Anomalie, T-Pain, Hannibal Buress, Ab-Soul, Nascent, Masego, Zach Danziger, Loyle Carner, Uyama Hiroto, Kan Sano, SAAY, et al. Rob now composes and produces his own music and tours worldwide, and will bring his new trio consisting of bassist Yuki 'Lin' Hayashi and drummer Jesse 'Smoke' Williams to the Jack London Revue where, among other things, they will debut new compositions from Rob's upcoming 2025 album.
