Born in West Texas, this Lone Star native grew up to the sounds of Hank Williams, Porter Waggoner, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and George Jones just to name a few. Every Friday and Saturday night would find him in the local Big Spring dance hall, The Stampede, dancing to the music styles of Bob Wills, Ray Price, and others to fuel the traditional country music flare that cuts to the heart of his inspiration. The ‘Honky Tonk’ sounds have been the most influential in providing some of the best dance hall music to be found. Having moved to Arizona in the late 70’s, Robert continued playing music in the Chandler area for friends and family. This eventually led to playing in local bands and venues around the Phoenix area and surrounding Arizona communities. The late 90’s would find Robert being tagged by the Arizona Country Music Association as Top Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year in 1995. The following year would find him with a repeat of the Top Male Vocalist of 1996. During the early years of 2000, Robert stepped aside of the music scene to concentrate on song writing and recording. He released a few recordings during that time that would rise in the European Charts. In association with Comstock Records, Blue Monday, released in 2001, hit the radio stations throughout the United States & Europe. It would eventually gain enough success to hit #1 in Germany. The follow-up release, Back Booth of a Tavern, saw success in achieving the #2 spot on the charts in France. After taking time off from performing, a local band got the desires burning again for this Texas native and soon he was back on stage entertaining. Since then, Robert has formed his band, CrossRoad. They can been seen performing around the Phoenix area once again bringing the Honky Tonk sounds from Buck, Merle, and Ray Price, to Alan Jackson & George Strait along with a few originals that blend with the dance halls.
