Robby Steinhardt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robby Steinhardt is a rock violinist, violist, and singer best known for his work with the group Kansas, for which he was co-lead singer and emcee from 1973-1982 and 1997-2005. In the interim, he had a band called Steinhardt-Moon. He has said that unless he has a writing credit on a song (his only writing credits with Kansas are "All the World", "Magnum Opus", "Point of Know Return", and "Stay Out of Trouble"), the violin or viola part was written out for him to perform, usually by Kerry Livgren.
His departure from the band was related to his substance abuse, which led to him initially not wanting to perform J.J. Cale's drug-themed "Bringing It Back", which featured a major violin solo, in concert, although he eventually would perform it again.
