The Fabie AnsteeTrio are a group of Chicago musicians who compose and perform original tunes in the style of early-to-mid-twentieth century popular music. With a fresh voice in today's songwriting landscape, their music pays tribute to the tradition of the Great American Songbook. It is their hope to bring the craft of songsmanship back into the public musical consciousness so that they can share the music that they love with the world.

Rob is a huge fan of Cole Porter, Gershwin, Rogers and Hart, Duke, Basie, and the rest. CL Fabie rounds out the trio on drums. A longtime fixture in the Chicago music scene, Chris has been teaching and performing on drums, percussion, and guitar since the early 90s, and continues to be recognized for his musicianship and originality.
