​

Some Guy Named Robb AKA singer songwriter Robb McCormick is a native to Arkansas and Colorado. He has headlined festivals and opened up for acts as diverse as John Fogarty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) to Sister Hazel, Kansas, and the Bellamy Brothers. As well as sharing the stage and bill with Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul, & Mary), Steve Poltz (Jewel) & Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) among others.  

Growing up he was inspired by lyrically and musically rich songwriters like Paul Simon, John Denver, and Neil Diamond. In his teenage years he found alternative rock music through bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode, and The Replacements.

 

His music is an amalgamation of all these influences, as well as Reggae, Punk, Soul, and Blues. His love for music is matched only by his high regard for lyricism.

He has spent his life writing and performing music, full time professionally since he was a teenager. He’s performed thousands of shows, to hundreds of thousands of people, nationally and internationally. Robb averages 150 shows per year, including corporate events, private parties, venues, bars, restaurants, schools, prisons, and more.  

 

In his own words:  

“The best shows are when I get to connect with the audience. When they are with me and I’m with them and we get to share a special moment together. Most musicians will tell you we perform music to make connections. That’s me. The best room is one who has come to have fun, to surrender to the evening and see where it may take us. From tears to laughter. From clapping hands to singing along with me.

​

I live for those musical moments.”

BIOgraphy

REVIEWS

"Robb is that "songwriter guy" you expect to see win a Grammy someday, out of nowhere."

- John Tickle

"Somewhere between heartbreak, longing, misery, desire, and the most ridiculous thoughts you’ve ever entertained is some guy named robb’s songwriting. It’s easy to want to pigeonhole an artist into a genre because it makes it easier for our minds to process. Garth Brooks, country. Bob Marley, reggae. Taylor Swift, pop.

 

But Robb’s songwriting doesn’t allow his audience the luxury of being lazy in defining him. Which is probably why people who listen to Robb tend to be critical thinkers, poets, passion-filled people, and other songwriters, who understand that real life experiences can take on every genre of music. They understand when they see Robb live, he will switch gears mid-set and take them from laughing about his song, “Death by Panda” to his tearfully contemplative tune, “I Choose You”, about a couple not being able to have kids.  

 

I’ve been to several of Robb’s shows, not only are they entertaining, but they are also, unlike so many of his contemporaries, spontaneous. Each one boasting a unique, nightly tailored setlist with twists and turns that take you from self-realizations to historical revelations, to downright hilarity and bemused full body laughing.  

 

Robb’s songwriting is the treasure you didn’t know you were looking for until you found it."

 

Mary Shence

"{Some Guy Named Robb} brings together Johnny Cash and The Cure in a way The National wishes he could."

​

Stephanie Hansen

"With each track (of The Folkster) you will be transported to an ever-present state of mind by a vocal-fry reminiscent of Neil Diamond, lilting lyrics luminescent of Ray Davies, the playfulness of the Monkees, and the existential woe of Roger Waters mixed with the dead-pan optimism of Tom Petty and Chrissy Hynde." â€‹

"Some Guy Named Robb is the newest evolution of music for today. Old and new meet with finesse, style and class in Robb"

- Linda Shine

"My favorite part about hearing “The Folkster” was seeing Robb’s evolution both as a musician and a person.

From the gritty and raw emotionality of “The Irresponsible Years” to the more polished, reflective nature of this newest album, 

I have loved seeing all the iterations of Robb. Plus I always imagine all his friends in the background and all the fun they must have had making this music together."

-Sarah Post, Reviewer
