About Robert
Status: Shameless Rob Bands: NEW Rock Album Project!

Summary

As this band has begun to develop and transform, we've been writing, arranging, and attempting to capture the "muse" in our original music project. Our hope this year is to release our first 5-6 song EP, followed up by our first full-length album. Our band is made up of working stiffs from different backgrounds with day jobs and families who have been putting as much of our own finances into this project as possible, but we can't afford to do this any longer. We NEED your help!

In July 2012, we tested the waters with our first single, "Whiskey River Blues." After its release and minimal promoting, we received international airplay and conducted our first-ever UK radio interview (partially featured in the Kickstarter video). We also have gained thousands of fans (www.facebook.com/shamelessrobband and @ShamelessRob) along the way who are highly anticipating our first album. At this point, our band is laying the foundation for a hopeful journey toward carving out our own unique place in today's musical landscape. We can't make this journey on our own; we need you with us...we need your help!

Our primary motivation is the pure pleasure that comes from creating, recording, and performing original music for us and our fans to enjoy! To have a devoted fan base supporting SRB's expression is what truly inspires us! There are countless hours involved in developing this type of project, and our desire is to promote this all the way! We need funding to finish recording these two projects, but we also need the resources to effectively move these products into the music market.

We have everything in place to masterfully produce these projects, but we need you! Although our minimum goal is to raise $10,000 on KICKSTARTER.COM to cover recording costs, our overall collective goal is to raise more than $100,000 toward the entire project! Costs associated include recording, mixing, mastering, album manufacturing and distribution, marketing, promoting, touring, video production, and merchandising. We really need your participation to make this project happen!

THANK YOU a million times over to every one of you for your love, relentless support, friendships, belief in our abilities, and kind words of encouragement! We'll keep you posted every step of the way. THANK YOU in advance for your gift of support!

Cheers,

Shameless Rob Band

Resumé / Bio


Shameless Rob's music blends different genres and stylistic elements by meshing acoustic folk, rock, blues, country and pop rhythms with edgy alternative arrangements. The lyrical base is composed by fashioning different perspectives to form gateways between reality and internal dialogues. Audience connection is really important as the band combines emotionally inviting visuals, alongside dynamic rhythms, as daring new sounds begin to surface. Shameless Rob is not solely a performing artist, but a penny poet implicating the importance of honesty and self-love as a springboard to hopeful journeys away from guilt, shame and loneliness to that of giving again. Shameless Rob's vision of developing a band has finally happened in 2012 with the following Shameless Rob Band members; Shameless Rob as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist; Mark Schornack performing bass guitar; Frank Outhet on lead acoustic and electric guitar, violin, mandolin and background vocals; and Markus Kamp our backbone playing percussions and backing vocals. Our philosophy as a band is to develop high quality shows for quality venues in an attempt to rock social, religious and emotional boundaries...

Honors / Awards: About Shameless Rob's First Single, Whiskey River Blues

Seattle, WA - Shameless Rob Band's first single, Whiskey River Blues was written by Shameless Rob as a tribute to the contributions of Jim Morrison and The Doors. Shameless Rob once visited Jim Morrison's gravesite while in Paris. He was surprised to see that Jim Morrison died on July 3rd, which was also Shameless Rob's birthday. Years later as his band finally formed, Shameless Rob wanted his first single release to be that of Whiskey River Blues. Weeks after Whiskey River Blues was recorded during the mixing process, Shameless Rob explained that the band unknowingly finished recording Whiskey River Blues exactly 41 years to the hour of Jim Morrison's death. So crazy, but during mixing it dawned on me as I looked at the engineer and said, 'no way!' I realized exactly 41 years after Jim Morrison's death my first single, Whiskey River Blues was born. When I wrote this song it was originally named, 'My Morrison Blues.' So here's a guy I can relate to who seemed to be a 'penny poet' at heart. Jim was not willing to settle for anything less than doing what he was meant to do. It was like he had this pressing need to break free of religious, political and social constraints. In a way, Jim built wings with his words and music and transcended human confinement." SR
