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:-}
