Rob Cannillo is a storyteller with soul...gravelly and silky-smooth. Rob is an accomplished singer/songwriter, with 4 CDs of original music to his credit, whose gritty vocal stylings and distinctive Americana compositions speak from the heart, engaging thousands of listeners across the U.S.
Rob, whose music has been described by WPDH DJ Robyn Taylor as “magic” and by former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle as “killer,” is a self-taught musician who burst onto the Hudson Valley entertainment scene and quickly became one of the area’s premier artists. Rob’s melodies evoke the sounds of other popular Americana artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Gregg Allman, John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne, The Lumineers, and Amos Lee.
A life-altering brush with cancer and other defining experiences have shaped Rob into the passionate, earthy performer his devoted fans have come to love. Rob is joined onstage by his wife Susan, and they often travel in their hand built tiny camper. Rob has played a collection of renowned venues ranging from The Wildhorse Saloon, Nashville, The Turning Point, Piermont, NY, The Stephen Talkhouse, Amagansett, NY, and Daryl’s House, Pawling, NY.
