Extra Stuff About Me:
  Rob (and his band Train) won a Grammy Award (Best Rock Song 2001) for “Drops of Jupiter”, and was the musical force behind hits such as “Meet Virginia”, “Free”, “I Am”, and “Get to Me”. Rob founded the band Train, and his songwriting helped to create their multi-platinum success, but, due to musical differences, he left after their third album. After leaving Train, Rob recorded and produced his solo album, Midnight Ghost, which received tremendous critical acclaim. Rob’s classic sound, with meaningful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and lush harmonies, has been likened to The Beatles, Neil Young, and more current artists like Ed Sheeran.

After several years of retirement from music, Rob moved back to the Bay Area to begin a solo career in late 2015. He is writing songs and performing to discerning audiences throughout California. He plans to produce another album in 2016.

For us kids living in Berlin, American Top 40 was a life-line to music that was happening in the States. Sunday mornings, for me, were spent listening to Casey Kasem, wishing my favorite latest song up the charts. To hear Casey talk about one of my songs is about as good as it gets:-}
