It’s 12 AM and Rob Daniels is still at it. Commanding the stage like Mick Jagger and wielding a guitar as if to honor the rock gods of old. And to think just moments ago he was serenading us with an acoustic set of original pop songs. “I was searching for my voice. I had been a gigging musician for years but I was only just beginning to identify myself as a songwriter.” So says Rob Daniels regarding his journey from college student to performing artist who has produced a collection of sincere tunes recounting love found and lost during a two-year stint in Boston. Daniels’ voice is immediately recognizable, yet fresh with a unique timbre and presence beyond its years. You can hear smooth, hopeful, raspy or broken depending on the song. It’s clean, dirty and intimate all at the same time. Listening to Rob Daniels is like rediscovering one of your favorite bands. However, it’s much more than that. As if his alluring vocals and perfectly executed guitar riffs and licks weren’t enough, the songwriting alone could easily make this debut LP an instant classic. Not to mention he wrote and produced it... And tracked all of the instruments himself. It should read “satisfaction guaranteed” on the cover. Near Her is a timeless and original album that must be heard. Award winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, session guitarist and electrifying stage performer.... What more can you ask for?
