Bio
Robert Smith-Hald was born and raised in a religious sect in the middle of the woods in Pennsylvania USA. They kept themselves as far from the outside world as possible, and hated all pop and rock music. The first time Robert heard Elvis, he was nearly killed with a sledgehammer by his babysitter as she slam-hammer attacked, eager to destroy the work of Satan.
Penniless, Robert escaped from the sect at the age of 15, making his new home in Norway, where he could trace his ancestry back to the city of Bergen, and the first Prime Minister of an independent Norway, Christian Michelsen. He is now well established there, and has become a highly respected and revered artist. His song-writing is deeply personal and genuinely heart-felt as the trauma of his experiences continue to fuel the fire of his creative mind.
Robert Smith-Hald is a singer-songwriter rock'n roller with an astounding voice and amazing songs. His songs evoke the sounds and quality of 60's and 70's folk rock legends like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Band, Bruce Springsteen and others. Robert's music and lyrics are of a quality not heard in years, and we invite you to come and see and hear the incredible sound of the man and his powerful and talented backing band, Fusa's Finest.
