"Rob Roper's music concocts striking similarities to Elvis Costello... pop rock with a lyrical edge." --Sheryl Radetsky, owner of The Rock 'n Soul Cafe in Boulder

Pass it Around!

For those of you who have bought my CD's or downloaded my songs, I would love for you to email the mp3's to friends and turn them on to my music. No need to ask permission. I've become acquainted with songs and artists because someone emailed me an mp3. I've then gone out and bought a CD by that artist, and/or paid to attend a show by them. So it's in my interest for you to pass my songs around. Thank you!

"Rob is the troubadour of the misfit...and bless him for it. He has the voice for those of us who ran into road construction on the highway to life's grandest hopes and dreams. Rob sings of the humor and disappointment most of us encounter on our less than perfect journeys through this life. But even when the subject matter turns the darkest, even in his bleakest laments, there is a human voice of solidarity and of hope showing at the edges of the despair...the kind of hope and solidarity that could actually save a life. Rob's best tune on the album is 'You Could Have Had Me.' If it isn't speaking to a universal for the rest of us less than winners, then what the hell is music for? Buy his EP and listen to it when it when it actually matters...when you need a little hope at the edges of your darkness." --Kurt Loken
