ARTIST OF THE YEAR: ERIC DARIUS

For RBJF Artist of the Year Eric Darius, there are no limitations when it
comes to breaking new ground. Internationally known as an elite jazz/R&B/
pop saxophonist, songwriter, producer, and performer, Darius recently dropped
“L.O.V.E,” featuring Brian Culbertson, the third single from his seventh studio
album, “Breakin’ Thru,” which debuted at No. 2 on the iTunes Top 40 Jazz
Albums Chart.

This project is an extra special milestone for Darius as it is his first release via
his own independent label, SagiDarius Music. The title track and debut single
for “Breakin’ Thru” has been a staple on Contemporary Jazz radio reaching No.
1 on the Billboard Charts, as well as his second single, “Dare 2 Dream,” which
reached the Top 5 on the Billboard Charts.

Darius is currently on a worldwide tour promoting the Breakin’ Thru album,
dazzling audiences globally with his dynamic show.

PRODUCER OF THE YEAR: BOB YESBEK

Bob Yesbek was a high school freshman when he learned to spot an
opportunity. The young musician realized that the Hammond Organ Studio was
across the street from the Capri Restaurant, his parents’ favorite Italian eatery in
Wheaton, Maryland.

The fresh-faced teenager approached restaurant owner Frank Passero. If the
music store would put a loaner in the dining room, would Passero let Yesbek
play? Passero agreed. Yesbek would earn only a few dollars per hour but could
eat his fill of pizza and pasta.

From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Yesbek dutifully sat at the
keyboard, playing standards popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s. And
during every break, he ordered another dish — or two — from the kitchen. Finally,
Passero put his foot down. “He’s eating me out of house and home!” he told
Yesbek’s father.

“It was my first restaurant gig, and I almost got fired,” recalls Yesbek. Although
Passero put a kibosh on the free meals, he gave the performer a raise.

So began the happy marriage of Yesbek’s twin passions: music and food. Over
the next 50 years, he’s spent untold hours at the keyboard, mixing board, and
cutting board. He’s owned radio stations and restaurants. Now known as the
“Rehoboth Foodie,” Yesbek is a coastal Delaware food writer, radio personality
and, more recently, the leader of 2nd Time Around, a classic rock trio.

He is the poster child for the expression: “Do what you love.” And he still uses
his ambition and ingenuity to create symbiotic relationships between all these
endeavors.
