Rob Baird is a thinker, a seeker, a man who surveys the scene, decides what he aims to accomplish and sets it in motion. In the past five years, the Memphis-born musician, who broke out with 2012’s critically-acclaimed “I Swear It’s the Truth” and built a dedicated fan base as a result, steadily earned a reputation as a no-frills, earnest singer/songwriter and performer, one who is able to tear through the Texas live music circuit with ease. Rob envisioned for himself a fuller artistic landscape. He loved Texas, but just knew there was more out there. That’s why he temporarily stepped off the stage, decamped to Nashville and began to assemble Wrong Side of the River, his most eclectic and elegant, crisp and stunning collection of songs yet.
