Robert Hokamp’s career as a musician is marked by his explorations into contrasting genres. His production was described as “a pristine collection of music that perfectly showcases the true musical talent behind the spectacle” by the Dallas Observer.

He received the International Polka Association Young Songwriter’s Award for 2024 with his composition “To the Hills”. His interest in world and polka music led to projects with members of the 2-time Grammy winning polka band Brave Combo, which he joined as a full member in 2015. His arrangements of Little Rock Getaway/Cliffs of Dover and El Chupon highlight his guitar virtuosity in BC’s live shows, during which he also plays steel guitar, bass, and trumpet.

Along with his wife, flutist and arranger Alyse Hokamp, Robert arranges music for the Pan-Tones, “a musical playground that can bring to life their wildest ideas and far-flung interests”. Robert and Alyse also perform as a guitar/flute duo.

Robert writes and releases original songs in a variety of styles.
He composed the ringtone “Intelligent Data” (2019) for software company SAP.
As a jazz composer, he released Bees, and Jungle Team (both 2014).
He continues to enrich the Denton, TX music scene through his work as a producer with local bands.

Robert’s most recent musical projects are the winter season-themed Snø-Tønes and the eclectic and bluesy Hokamp, Beck, and Barnes.
