ROB GABBARD

Rounding out The Gabbards is Rob Gabbard. Rob is Gary's son. Rob and his sister Holly, represent the younger generation. Rob has been preaching for several years and he plays piano for the group. Rob first learned to play the bass guitar at the age of 13. A couple years later, he picked out a song on the piano he heard from a TV commercial and within 6 months he taught himself how to play the piano by ear and was playing in church. He can also play several other instruments including, organ, bass guitar, and drums. Rob has a great ear for music and has started writing songs.

Rob runs the sound for The Gabbards and plays the piano in services and in revivals. He has turned into a Jack of all trades for the group since he is also one of the bus drivers. Rob is in the early years of his ministry and we believe he’ll continue to blossom into a great worker and minister for the Lord.
