Combining the harmony of pop with singer-songwriter sensibility and outlining an acoustic instrumentation with a rock edge Rob Anthony is truly at home. He occupies a unique musical space by catching his audience unaware and transporting them to a place of pure rock pleasure.

An award winning singer/songwriter who has proudly written and recorded 3 albums of music ranging from acoustic rock to folk to alternative country rock Anthony is preparing to release his 4th studio album 'While The World Sleeps'.

Rob's inaugural acoustic project again finds the singer-songwriter comfortably baring his heart on his sleeve. The album bleeds sincerity, from the realization that I Dont Need Much to his humbling cry for America in the records title track While The World Sleeps. Mid-album on nationwide hit Down The Road, an acoustic tribute to truckers who daily help to move the world along, Rob sings: The sun sets down on a painted sky/Its always hard to say goodbye/I never leave your smile behind/I take all of you with me, coloring an emotional canvas torn between duty and guilt, pride and love, that resonates with the American people.

Anthonys journey started off at an early age. After several years of touring nationally, Rob decided to trade in long hair & shredding guitar licks of his former heavy metal days in Acrophet for a faux hawk and acoustic guitar returning to his Midwestern roots focusing on singing & songwriting.

His debut album Hard to Believe was released in 2000 and received critical acclaim receiving 2 awards for best pop album by Songwriters of Wisconsin (SOWI). Anthonys second release Where I Belong in 2004 earned him awards with the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) including Peoples Choice Artist and Acoustic Artist of the Year. Anthonys third release Inside You Inside Me (2006) breaks new ground as a breadth of raw emotion fills the quiet intimate moments while at other times the music builds with massive rhythm.

His new release While The World Sleeps Rob armed with an acoustic and his soul has come to appreciate the directness of the acoustic approach and its ability to help reach an audience. Rob strips songs of faith, freedom, hope and inspiration down to an intimate, thought-provoking moment between musician and listener.

While Anthony has certainly enjoyed his success as a singer/songwriter, one thing is certain he hasnt forgotten where hes come from and is happy to give back to his community. His constant touring, contributions to his community and pure love of music has won fans over and in 2005 and 2006 they voted him People's Choice Artist in Northeast Wisconsin.

Some may say its hard to believe that a lead guitarist for a heavy metal band can return to his roots and belt out passionate, soulful acoustic rock in the tradition of the masters but he can and he does, which makes his musical journey as an heir to heartland rock remarkable, indeed.
