Mo Robson Band

Bio Sheet

This Dallas, Texas based band brandishes their own unique sound, which many fans would likely describe as Hard-Rockin’ Country. Club owners call The Mo Robson Band profitable, as this band has built a reputation for packing houses, crowding dance floors, and bringing new fans with them at every venue they burn the stage up at.

The Mo Robson Band is made up Mo Robson (Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica, Power-Lifting), Matt Hope (Lead Guitar, Male Modeling), Rob Short (Bass, Dungeons & Dragons Champ), Brandon Rice (Drums, once got a “Participant” ribbon at 8th Grade field day) and Wesley Holtsford (Fiddle). The Mo Robson Band’s third album titled, “Live at Adair’s” was released in April 2009 by Smith Entertainment. Their new single “Gettin’ Gone” has been steadily moving up the Texas Music Chart and put in regular rotation on many regional and internet stations.

Lois Adair gave the Mo Robson Band its start with a regular Tuesday night gig at Adair’s Saloon in Dallas, TX, one of Texas’ legendary venues. Texas greats such as Jack Ingram and 1100 Springs began on the very same, beer-soaked, black-marker stained stage. Soon following, The Mo Robson Band began touring the area as well as the state, in addition to cutting their first CD, “Mo Robson Band.“ In April of 2001, the original drummer made the decision to move on to other endeavors, and this void was filled by Brandon Rice. The addition of Rice on drums is the last major line-up shift as the members of The Mo Robson Band have played every show together since (except the ones where they didn‘t). The boys have stayed together through a lot: break-ups, hang-ups, incarceration, inebriation, sickness and even gigs that weren’t showing a televised Cowboy’s game at the bar.

Robson’s songs consist of tales from his own unique set of circumstances. Whether it’s tales from time spent outside of the state (“Rolling Down This Highway”), time spent on the wrong side of the law (“Good Morning Warden”), time spent with the bottle (“Jim Beam Whiskey”), or even time spent trying to figure what to do next (“First One to Go”), Robson gives the listener a pass behind the curtain into the life that has provided for him the fertile ground from which to create from.

Over the last eight years the MRB has been giggin’ all over Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and even Louisiana, playing clubs, festivals, fairs, rodeos, and Little Miss Sulphur Springs Pageants (Go Jenny-Lou, you can do it girl!!). The guys have even been on-hand to rock many corporate and private functions . The MRB has performed with dozens of national, regional as well as local D/FW acts of all genres and flavors. This performance schedule has helped the guys add to their ever growing fan base, consisting of folks that have been life-long country fans plus listeners who haven’t historically been into Country Music, but are attracted to The Mo Robson Band’s brand of Rockin’ Country. The Mo Robson Band’s second disc, “Even Angels Fall” has received substantial airplay on many regional and internet stations that act as a gauge of what listeners really want to hear in today‘s crowded field of Country music that isn’t really all that “Country,“ let alone as real, rockin’ and honest as the work of The Mo Robson Band.

“With an expanding fan base, the Mo Robson Band seems poised to claim its place in a state that’s produced many well-respected artists.”-Carolyn Dixon,Melodic Sunburst
