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 with no cure, 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 energy 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 a global publishing deal with Bucks Music and a global label deal with Absolute. Next would be a life changing move to 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”.

Album bio:
Leave Tomorrow - The Brand New Album (Out March 2025)
Have you ever wanted to load up the car, grab your lover by the hand and just drive ?
Escape the rain, turn off the phone, disappear ??
Well, if you have, and whether you're driving down Route 66
or up the M6, this album is the soundtrack..
So I say we Leave Tomorrow...

Written and recorded over four months in Nashville; "Leave Tomorrow" is a collection of journey songs. The adventures, the cliffhangers and the love stories of everyday life.. being brave enough to change the scenery and escaping the confines of the world we wish to leave behind.. understanding that sometimes the destination is actually coming back home again.. embracing the unknown as well as the ones we hold dear.

Featuring collaborations with a roll call of Nashville talent such as Jeff Trott (BMI Songwriter of the Year); Steve Dorff (Songwriter Hall of Fame); Fred Eltringham (ACM Drummer of the Year) and Frank Liddell's Carnival Music (Marla Cannon-Goodman, Mando Saenz) - this album is a transatlantic collaboration that takes flight; full of wit, charm, life and love.
