Rob Dehlinger is a trumpet player, composer, and singer/songwriter in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, United States. As a live trumpeter he has backed up many well-known performers including Ledisi, Wanda Jackson, and Lena Prima. Rob plays regularly with the band Stompy Jones.
Dehlinger's music, jingles, and other audio productions are featured heavily in the world of podcasts, especially in those which focus on topics related to Disney properties (Star Wars in particular). He is referred to as the "John Williams of Podcasting" by hosts and fans of shows such as "Skywalking Through Neverland", "The Neverland Podcast", "Talking Apes TV", "Rebel Force Radio", "Disney Vault Talk", "Fangirls Going Rogue", "Almost Famous", and others.
Rob performs throughout the globe, and has appeared on the nationally televised PBS specials "A Taste of Chanukah" and "A Taste of Passover", as well as an Emmy-award-winning episode of the Bay Area PBS arts show "Spark". Rob records and performs regularly in the Bay Area's top venues, including Slim's, Great American Music Hall, Yoshi's, Bimbo's, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, and George Lucas' Skywalker Sound studios. Since 2006 he has performed every month at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
Dehlinger's orchestral arrangement of Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" was recorded by San Francisco's Punk Rock Orchestra with Grammy winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones, and was featured in an April 2004 episode of NPR's Weekend Edition. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the New England Conservatory in Boston, MA.
Dehlinger is also a prominent music educator in the San Francisco Bay Area.
