Album Notes

Robert's music is a unique blend of Jazz, folk and blues with a pinch of country flavor, quirky production and vocal acrobatics.

Born in Oklahoma and raised in the heartland, Robert German was classically trained in voice, singing in chamber choirs and opera productions while studying music. Robert began to teach himself guitar and writing songs at the age of nineteen. He moved to New York in 1999 and became involved in a turbulent relationship. Its chaotic end inspired Robert to write a song entitled Marlboro Man.

A special limited edition promotional single of Marlboro Man was distributed nationally with the DVD for the Academy-Award winning movie Brokeback Mountain. In June 2006, DJ Jeremy Hovies of Sirius Satellite Radio began playing the song on his show Last Call. The song instantly made its debut on Sirius Out Qs Hot 20 countdown soaring to number 1 on August 12th.

A new recording of Marlboro Man is featured on Robert's full-length album Sirens of Brooklyn. With his extraordinary voice Robert creates horns, stringed instruments, drums and other various sounds. There are sirens who call in the sailors and ones that race towards the burning buildings. The album is comprised of 12 songs, all of them written, produced and performed solely by Robert.

Robert's song Well Formed Man, the fourth track on the album was recently featured on High Bias with Uncle LD on the Village Voice's website and on National Public Radio's Open Mic.
