Rob tours across North America in his beat up '89 Dodge whose odometer he recently pushed past 450,000 kms (281,250 miles). He plays well over 100 dates a year in Canada and the U.S., from Toronto to Vancouver to the Alaska Highway, from San Francisco to New York City to Washington D.C. ... and everywhere in between. His live shows are garnering him an increasingly devoted fanbase of hardcore music lovers who often travel great distances to see him play in person. His fans always mention Rob's ever-present wry smile, and how he makes you feel like you’re in on a shared secret...
