Biography
Rob Roper is a Denver-based singer-songwriter. He performs both solo and with backing musicians. Here is what some people say about his music:
"...wittily sarcastic, poignantly emotional, and humorously edgy, with moments of beauty and grace and sadness and reflection." --Patrick Nagel
"...funny in a self-deprecating way, reminds me lyrically of Greg Brown [and singing style] reminds me of John Gorka." --Dayna Scott
"...lyrical style is clever and insightful, with a strong sense of song structure and likable original melody lines." --Ken Langford
"...the troubadour of the misfit... the voice for those of us who ran into road construction on the highway to life's grandest hopes and dreams." --Kurt Loken
"...literate pop/folk tunes are furnished from the same emotional stores we shop at. The songs look like us and ask 'Is this me?' And by implication is this you? Is this what you intended in your life?" --Melle Johnson
"...songs that are alternatingly sarcastic, self-aware, and heartfelt... a rock 'n roller and raconteur with an acoustic guitar." --Tim Riordan
"Rob Roper's music is filled with wry observations of the world around him and us. He shares his unique viewpoint of personal stories and makes each audience member sit and think...'Hey, I've been through that.'" --Robert Mattson
"His thoughtful, yet playful tunes invariably have you tapping your foot to the beat. Loves lost, destroyed and found, along with drinking songs like "The Screwup Song" make for a great evening of entertainment." --KG Morris
"You are so original it hurts." --Natalie Illeana
