Buffalo, NY, singer-songwriter Rob Falgiano has 6 independent full-length CDs to his credit, with 7 underway. His latest collection of bittersweet, melodic songs is called "Red".

Strong influences include Brit-pop, 70s folk, vintage and alt-country, 50s rock and roll, contemporary alternative acoustic, loungy Brazilian rhythms, and American big band crooners.
Rob has had opening slots for more than a dozen national recording artists including: Jakob Dylan, Goo Goo Dolls, The Pushstars, Ingrid Michaelson, Emerson Hart, 10,000 Maniacs, Nickel Creek, Todd Phillips (ex-Toad), Nellie McKay, Deep Blue Something, 54'40, and Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies).
Rob's music was featured on the television show Felicity (WB) starring Keri Russell, and can be heard on the Season 4 DVD. He's also had TV placements with "The Black Donnellys" (NBC) and "Everwood" (The CW), and "Jack & Bobby" (The CW). Falgiano has earned a number of honors over the years, including First Prize in the 1998 Conan O'Brien College Band Search, narrowly missing the Grand Prize of performing on the show.
