Overview

I will play anywhere anytime. Gig salad restricts us to 200 miles. I would list unlimited miles if I could. If interested we can discuss the details in depth.

BE SURE YOU WANT CLASSIC OUTLAW COUNTRY, I DO NOT DO NEWER SONGS.

Performing singer/songwriter following in the footsteps of the legendary outlaws of country music. Great baritone vocals. Diverse classic playlist including Classic Country, Folk , Classic Rock, and many upbeat songs, great sense of humor, I do everything necessary to keep shows fun. I have entertained a wide age range of crowds, being able to adjust as needed to keep shows interesting.

Robert is the Best! 10/10 performance

Robert was a total professional at our rehearsal dinner and our guests had an AMAZING time.

He was early, setup and ripping Outlaw Country tunes by the time guests started filtering in.

Very skilled musician. His voice, guitar playing and style are true to his Gig Salad profile. He fit our western mountain town party exactly like how we envisioned, couldn’t have asked for a better artists.

Thank you so much Robert. We all wish you the best. Thanks for making our event so special <3

Enjoyed hearing Robert!

Sat down to listen to Robert while we were camping at Monarch Spur. Found out we both grew up in Tennessee and have friends in common! What a serendipitous meeting and loved hearing Robert play and sing.

Authentic local talent - the real deal

Robert sings and relates from the heart! And he’s a good dude too! Don’t miss his show when you are in Salida or at Monarch.

Good as gold

Robert is truly one of a kind who puts all his heart and soul into every song he writes or sings. He has a positive energy surrounding him and always has a kind word for a stranger.

What to expect

A fun filled time of jokes and music. A few surprises on the playlist. A witty almost sarcastic relationship with audiences keeps the show informal and relaxed. I like to get to know my crowd and play on their needs to be entertained. A truly exceptional voice highlights the music.

I am a one man band. I use prerecorded tracks, 100% produced by myself in my home studio. This gives the feel and sound of a live band without the cost of hiring a full band. Since I produce my own tracks the songs have been arranged for my style making the show more original than just cover songs played as usual.

About

Hello, I am Robert Clarkson, a performing singer/songwriter from Colorado.

Deep vocals and a great sense of humor defines my shows. A playlist of well known classic country favorites, along with my original songs, some classic rock, folk and other surprises.

I’m a U.S. Army veteran. I continue to support the military in every way possible. Reminding myself daily that the freedom of our country depends on servicemen and servicewomen worldwide

Additional booking notes

I simply require a plug.
