Robbie is a singer, recording artist, instrumentalist, composer, and songwriter. He is by far, one of the smartest, and most clever lyricists I've had the pleasure of listening to. He's a great storyteller and is able to develop and articulate specific and particular character traits that bring his characters to life. He evokes emotions in you as the listener, about the characters and the very real scenarios of life they find themselves in - which are basically the ups and downs of the common man.

Over the last 26 years, Robbie's released 13 albums. His 2016 record Upland Stories was nominated for a Grammy for Best Folk Album and the song "Alabama at Night" was nominated for a Grammy for Best American Roots Song. Let me just say one thing before we get started - this guy is a national treasure and more people need to be hip to what he's doing. Not to sound like a fanboy, but to combine such meaningful lyrics with such beautiful melodies and Robbie's voice, at this level of excellence... makes him an incredibly rare talent.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
