Molotov Cocktail Piano is the current project of pianist Robert W. Weber, a former cruise ship musician with a strong love for putting his own spin on hit songs of the past and present. Robert grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, and spent many years in jobs not related to the music industry before finally deciding to pursue music as a full-time career. A restaurant manager friend asked him to fill in one evening for a sick cocktail pianist and before long, Robert was playing four nights a week. Shortly thereafter, a leading cruise ship company offered him a six-month contract on a ship travelling to and from Mexico. After a few more contracts, Robert contacted what is now his current record company to inquire about a position with a another group of pianists. They instead offered him a contract for solo work and Molotov Cocktail Piano was born.
