Album Notes

Rob Nicholas and A Moment’s Notice formed just that way, in a moments notice. “We seemed to start things backwards. Our first show as a whole band was opening for Howie Day at EIU in front of almost 1,000 people.” Rob recalls. “It was crazy, and I still can’t believe we pulled it off.”

As a solo artist Rob Nicholas was able to pack the coffee houses and clubs alike, but when Epic Records got a hold of his demo and offered to have him open for Howie Day, Rob recognized that something was missing. “To be able to rock a crowd that size you need a full band, that’s all there is to it. I knew that I needed to find some guys to do the show with me.” Rob didn’t have to look far. He discovered half of what he was searching for right at school. Eric Woody and Robbie Tucker, both attendees of Columbia College, brought the sound and talent that Rob desired. After adding local talent Aaron Coppell and Nick Hill to the mix, Rob Nicholas and A Moment’s Notice was born.
“We really didn’t have to think too hard about a name,” says Rob “we got ready for the biggest show of our lives in less than a month. I looked at Woody, Aaron and, Robbie… ‘A Moment’s Notice’… it just fit.”
“I think we have a recipe all our own.” Rob states, “We are driven by rock, jazz and pop. You don’t see jazz thrown in there with those other two genres too often.”

With their infectious sound, raw energy, and Rob’s rich melodic voice, Rob Nicholas and A Moment’s have set the Chicago music scene ablaze since their first show together. Rob and company have shared the stage with rising talent such as Mer, Blissfield, and Owen Beverly. They have hit the college circuit as well; playing shows at Universities around the state (see attached performances).

Sensing the demand for a debut album, the guys headed into the studio to record their freshman effort, Secrets To Be Untold. After the release of their highly anticipated debut, Rob and A Moment’s Notice will be hitting the road to do what they do best, move audiences with their music.
