Rob Harris has written songs for some of the biggest names in music. They just don't know it yet. 🙂

A Nashville-based Singer/Songwriter, he arranged an acoustic waltz version of the rock anthem, "Free Bird", with the ACM Award-winning country duo, Joey+Rory, which appeared on their debut CD. For two years, he played guitar for Joey Feek. He has held publishing deals with Identical Entertainment, The Heard Music Group and Rescued Music.
 
He has been a writer on two Top-10 singles and his song "Greasy John Deere Cap" (from the Tim Hicks CD, "Throw Down"), was certified GOLD in August 2017.  

Other artists who have recorded Rob's songs include: The Lovelocks, Ivan Parker, Back Home, Karen Peck, Marcia Ramirez, Brittany Brodie and a variety of indie artists. Garth Brooks describes Rob’s song, “How to Bend” as, “…a beautiful sentiment, a timeless message and a great song.”

His music is family friendly, filled with real life and sprinkled with humor. He performs throughout the US, has opened shows for Grammy® Award-winning and Dove Award-winning artists and is a frequent performer at Nashville-area songwriter venues such as Puckett’s Grocery and the world famous, Bluebird Café. Rob also has over thirty years' experience leading worship at churches, conferences and events around the country.

He serves as a faculty member/mentor for Songwriting University.

He has also appeared in episodes of the True Crime shows "Snapped" (Oxygen Network), "Snapped: Killer Couples", "Fatal Attraction" and "In Pursuit with John Walsh" (TV One). 

While he is a songwriter at heart, he also enjoys playing great cover songs.
