In his earliest childhood memories he recalls lying on the floor in his room listening to the beautiful harmonizing on the “Beach Boys” album “Pet Sounds.” Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky as a child of the 80’s, Rob was only exposed to certain music early in life. Mostly just radio hits from Madonna, Duran Duran, New Kids On The Block, MC Hammer, and others. As he grew older he discovered the music scene outside of 80’s pop radio. Through his teen years he was heavily moved by hip-hop and grunge rock. Later on he discovered the treasures of 60’s and 70’s psychedelic rock. Rob continued to rummage through local record stores, and his parents vinyl collection, digging deeper into the world of music. Poetry was another art form that Rob became attached to at a young age. Inspired by an articulate elementary school English teacher, he found poetry tremendously moving. He began writing poems on a regular basis, and this was something he would continue to do throughout his life. By the time he was 18, Rob had fallen in love, dropped out of high school, been in quite a bit of trouble with the law, tried nearly every drug imaginable, and made every mistake a bewildered teenager can make. After a series of negative drug experiences that left him with ongoing mental torment, Rob returned to the creative languages that had touched a chord in his heart as a child. Once again he found himself infatuated with music and poetry, this time as an aspiring artist. Sutter Cane was the novelist from the film “In the Mouth of Madness.” He wrote books that caused the reader to go insane. Three years into his music career, Rob chose "Sutter Cane" as his musical alter ego. He uses music and poetry as a way to deal with life. Whether he spent the night arguing with his girlfriend, sharing beer and deep conversation with his close friends, or performing music in a local bar, you will hear about it in his songs. Honest emotions and simple analogies of life are what you will find in this music. No preaching, no bragging, and no cookie-cutter hip-hop; just sincere words and heartfelt expressions from a dreamer with good intentions and many scars CONTACT SUTTER CANE ON AIM: MSOLOIST
