   About rob anthony

combining the harmony of pop with singer-songwriter sensibility and outlining an acoustic instrumentation with a rock edge rob is truly at home performing over 200 shows and events a year. he occupies a unique musical space by catching his audience unaware and transporting them to a place of pure rock pleasure.

an award winning singer/songwriter who has proudly written and recorded 3 albums of music ranging from acoustic rock to folk to alternative country rock anthony is preparing to release his 4th album of acoustic music called 'while the world sleeps'.

rob's inaugural acoustic project again finds the singer-songwriter comfortably baring his heart on his sleeve. the album bleeds sincerity, from the realization that “i don’t need much” to his humbling cry for america in the record’s title track. mid-album on nationwide hit “down the road,” an acoustic tribute to truckers who daily help to move the world along, rob sings: “the sun sets down on a painted sky/it’s always hard to say goodbye/i never leave your smile behind/i take all of you with me,” coloring an emotional canvas torn between duty and guilt, pride and love, that resonates with the american people.

anthony’s journey started off at an early age. after several years of touring nationally, rob decided to trade in long hair & shredding guitar licks of his former heavy metal days in acrophet for a faux hawk and acoustic guitar returning to his midwestern roots focusing on singing & songwriting.

his debut album “hard to believe” was released in 2000 and received critical acclaim receiving 2 awards for best pop album by songwriters of wisconsin (sowi). anthony’s sophomore release “where i belong” in 2004 earned him awards with the wisconsin area music industry (wami) including ‘people’s choice artist’ and ‘acoustic artist of the year’. anthony’s latest release “inside you inside me” (2006) breaks new ground as a breadth of raw emotion fills the quiet intimate moments while at other times the music builds with massive rhythm.

while anthony has certainly enjoyed his success as a singer/songwriter, one thing is certain he hasn’t forgotten where he’s come from and is happy to give back to his community. his constant touring, contributions and pure love of music has won fans over and in 2005 and 2006 they voted him people's choice artist in northeast wisconsin.

some may say its hard to believe that a lead guitarist for a heavy metal band can return to his roots and belt out passionate, soulful acoustic rock in the tradition of the masters but he can and he does, which makes his musical journey as an heir to heartland rock remarkable, indeed.

"i was honored and proud to be part of the worlds largest truck convoy for special olympics. with over 100 trucks participating and escorted by the states finest law enforcement traveling up 41 from southeast wisconsin to the EAA grounds in oshkosh they helped in raising $100,00.00 for the special olympics of wisconsin. congratulations truckers and to all who attended and contributed!

the special olympics wisconsin provides sports training and competition for nearly 10,000 athletes in nearly 200 communities statewide with cognitive disabilities in 18 different sports year-round. i invite you to visit their site at www.specialolympicswisconsin.org to read more and find out how you can get involved.

thanks again to all the truckers for keeping america moving and special thank you to SOWI for inviting me to emcee the event and perform "down the road" ~ an acoustic tribute to truckers who move the world along day to day and to the families who await their safe return."
