Heavily touring the southeast and his current home of Texas for the last few years, Rob Baird caught the ear of Carnival's Frank Liddell (who helped bring Chris Knight, Miranda Lambert, Bruce Robison and others to the public).
On his debut Blue Eyed Angels, the 23-year old Baird brings a 'don't bore us, get to the chorus' approach to song structure and melds it with an affinity for darker-themed lyrics. The result is he is able to sing a tale of heartache - or even about the emptiness of the world's oldest profession - and make it lighter with a chorus that jingles.
