About;

Raised by a loving single mum, in a small North West town in the UK, Rob discovered music was a way of escaping the bullies and troubles that came with being the “poor kid in a council house” - playing Hank, Cash, Eagles & Beatles on his cheap guitar on the outhouse roof, overlooking the asbestos garages and uniformed blue doors of his neighbourhood, romanticising a life on the road like his heroes.

In 2012 Rob’s life changed forever. A medical diagnosis, leaving him as a self described “Nowhere Man”, led to depression, addiction and ultimately a breakdown. “I got help, and I learned to help myself, and I realised that life and music are gifts, so I poured my heart and soul into those instead of self destruction”.

A small legacy from his Grandfather gave him the opportunity to record and release his critically acclaimed debut album, which led to global publishing and label deals.

Next would be Nashville; Tennessee, where Rob’s reputation for songwriting, collaboration and hard work preceded him. Four months in The City Of Music, working with Jeff Trott, Steve Dorff & Frank Liddell amongst many others, resulted in the new record “Leave Tomorrow”; a true unification of UK and American country music.

“My heroes sang about cowboys and horses, desperados and drifters; but I write and sing about what I see and what I feel. And you know what, I believe that's the root of all great country music no matter where you’re from - sharing your true feelings in a song, so that somebody listening is just a little less lonely”.
