About Us

Bob Schetter, formerly of Tehachapi and now living in Santa Barbara, hails from the Bronx, by way of Ann Arbor, MI where he perfected his rockabilly & blues styles with The Bonnevilles, Driving Sideways, and his own band, Little Red and The Big Blues Band. His first CD of originals left little doubt about his musical and production gifts. Then life, and a second career in clinical social work happened for about 15 years. In 2014, Bob returned to his first love, and has been playing with other talented musicians around Tehachapi and the Central Coast, winning awards at Topanga Fiddle and Banjo Festival, and writing more of his own songs.  In addition to The InVocations, Bob also plays with Ken Leiboff as Two Likable Guys, and with Mark Alciati as The Wine Tones. He and Marilyn also hosted the venerable Camarillo Cafe Concert Series before COVID got to it. 

Marilyn Meyer, moved to the Santa Barbara area in 2014 from the 'burbs east of Los Angeles where she grew up. Although a thoroughly SoCal woman, she was born in New Orleans and has deep ancestral roots in the South.  Marilyn started singing about the time she started talking, and began songwriting and performing in her teens. After earning an MA in Theatre, she took a deep dive into Jungian psychology. Twenty-five years of psychotherapy practice later, her original songs are now inspired by the complexity of relationships, mythology and the creative process itself, grounded in her deep understanding of human nature. Her vocal style has been compared to Mary Chapin Carpenter and Karen Carpenter, as she discovers the authentic edges of a mature voice finding the expression of life experience.
