Robert Allen CDs
Robert Allen
Robert Allen is songwriter, artist, arranger and producer on his first release. He takes those melodies and lyrics bouncing around his soul, heart and mind and arranges them into compositions with tones of country, rock, blues and jazz. This album will move you, make you dance, bring a smile to your face and maybe a tear to your eye.It all started in New London, CT at age 7 with the school talent show. By the time I was 16 I had formed East Hampton, CT's proverbial high school band. As 'The Specials' we played school dances and at the movie theater between matinees.
Then came the stint in the Navy and I formed 'The Signalmen'. The ship's captain arranged for us to perform for dignitaries in Italy, Subic Bay, Hong Kong, China, Spain, Africa and Hawaii. After the Navy I spent several years on Staten Island with 'The Country Echoes'. Nashville came next where I formed and fronted 'Red Hot Ricochet Band' and 'Connection".
Between the two bands, I spent about three years fronting for Grand Ole Opry artist Stonewall Jackson. Then it was on to Atlanta where I formed 'Robert Allen & Co.' and began playing locally. Next was an extended USO tour entertaining in Turkey, Italy, Greece and Spain. Now I'm back in the Nashville area making more music and loving it!
