Catbird99


Check out this amazing new artist! Not only is he incredibly talented but his story is life inspiring. Ok, so I am may be a little impartial but don't let it fool you...it's worth checking out. His music is on iTunes. Get a sample on my blog and then go download the CD.
Robby, with the support of his wife (Yes, the ever planner years ahead ME) took the leap of faith to follow his musical dreams less than six months ago. We had no idea where the journey was taking us but it has awesome- and as a friend of ours would say: "Don't take the word Awesome in vain". It has been inspired by faith, love, compassion and healing.
Robby's music is fueled by his pain and testimony. The way he channels his history, his story is via his music. Our hope is that it would reach others that share in the pain of addiction and trauma. That it would open the hearts of the hurting.
His songs are harrowing and rock driven. But listen carefully and you will find his vulnerability hidden beneath. Catbird 99 is a rare glimpse into the soul of a very private and often mysterious man.
If you notice a hint of Beck/AIR/NIN don't be surprised...both the bass player and drummer played on Rob's album. The making of the album is a wild story in and of itself. It started with a cold call to Agent who almost hung up on the producer, Sean Johnson. But hung on long enough to hear the words Capital Records. A couple days later and a very SCRATCH track mailed, the agent called back saying the talent loved it and was willing to play. Check out the Catbird99 website www.catbird99.com for more on the back story to making the album.
