London Launch for UK 'Northern country' artist Rob Wheeler on album release tour
A trip to Nashville surrounded by the music that soundtracked his life in Cheshire results in Northern country musician Rob Wheeler’s new album Leave Tomorrow and subsequent UK tour with his album launch at Camden's Green Note on 11th June.
With two well-received albums under his belt, UK Northern country artist Rob Wheeler is set to take his latest record Leave Tomorrow on the road.
These songs were written during a four-month stint in Nashville, Tennessee, a collaborative effort with a multitude of acclaimed musicians, among them Grammy-nominated songwriters Jeff Trott, Steve Dorff and Frank Liddell. Having grown up in a small town in England’s grey North West, becoming obsessed with The Beatles and learning the songs of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and The Eagles on guitar as a means of escape, Leave Tomorrow is a full-circle moment for Rob Wheeler, bringing his worlds of UK and American music together.
‘Growing up in the North West of England, Nashville represented to me what I imagine Hollywood represents to aspiring actors. A mythical land that seems both untouchable and utterly irresistible.
‘My American heroes sang about cowboys and horses, desperados and drifters; but I write and sing about what I see from my own window and how it feels from my point of view.’ - Rob Wheeler
Following the album’s release, Rob will be embarking on this UK headline tour accompanied by his full band and with support from Hughzy. Dates below, tickets available here: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/3624249-rob-wheeler
