Threadgill Theater
Growing up in a family
of performers, Robby says his first musical memories
are of his mother's folk tapes. "We'd be riding in
the Pontiac station wagon, and she'd always have
something beautiful on. Peter, Paul, and Mary, Judy
Collins, Dan Fogelberg… whatever it was, I'd be
singing along." Late Last Night proves to be a
captivating blend of these influences with tracks
like "Alone On A Saturday Night" and "Freight Train
Lady."
Robby began writing
and performing in local coffeehouses while attending
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, developing and
pairing his soulful voice and unique finger-style
guitar. After spending time living in Paris and San
Francisco and performing in a wide range of venues
across the United States, he eventually returned to
his home state, settling in Nashville.
Robby has since been
playing folk/roots festivals and venues across the
country, sharing the stage with such legendary
artists as Ron Sexsmith, Patty Griffin and John
Gorka, garnering comparisons to early James Taylor,
Paul Simon, and Amos Lee. Like these celebrated
artists, Robby Hecht is a unique voice -- one that
is stirring, instantly recognizable and truly
original.
