Chris Dillon is a percussionist who has been professionally performing with his Dad (Robert) ever since he was 14 years old (for the past four years). After learning the drums of many top bands, he quickly learned percussion from Robert's former percussionist, Shannon. When Chris was 14, he was on salary for weekly gigs at the Hot Springs BrauHaus in Arkansas, and has performed in about 50 gigs with his Dad. They are a very unique father & son duo.

Some of Robert's dynamic and beautiful originals are shown on his CD Recordings page. His albums include: Fingerstyle Guitar & Percussion Duo (2005), Christmas Classics (2004), Renewed Memories (2002), Classical Solos (2001), and Images From The Heart (2000). The music he performs ranges from energetic and innovative original acoustic instrumentals to classical solos, using concert guality guitars. Robert uses a custom-built Traugott model R cutaway (steel-string) guitar to perform his new acoustic instrumentals and either a Hernandis model 1a (nylon-string) guitar or a Garcia grand concert (nylon-string) guitar for his classical and contemporary solos selected from his diversed repertoire. His refined classical fingerstyle technique applied to his music allows him to produce three-dimensional compositions that have won the hearts of many listeners. Robert sounds like two guitars at once! Robert and Chris have been performing as a duo for many occasions. They have recorded their best songs together on their latest album "Fingerstyle Guitar & Percussion Duo" (2005) CD!
