After a nearly 14 year break from performing, the past four years have been a whirlwind musical rebirth for Rob with a busy touring schedule, an appearance as a finalist in the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival “New Folk” competition, multiple juried showcase appearances at the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest Folk Alliance Conferences, and the 2015 global release of his new CD (a hypocrite of heart and hope). His 2011 CD -- You. Must. Stop. -- reached the top 25 for folk and roots radio in both Europe and the US and was praised by Maverick magazine as “one of those all-too-rare albums where every track is a standout.”
