artist Rob Lamothe

Sometimes a straight line isn't the best way to get to where you want think you want to be. "Sometimes pain is heaven sent, and beautiful is chipped and bent". At least that's the way Rob Lamothe sees it. A line in one of his new songs, has him giving thanks to “every glorious mistake that brought him here”, indicating a depth of personal acceptance that is not easily or painlessly reached. His new CD 'Long Lazy Curve' might be a story about a man growing up and taking a long time to do it, traveling curving, winding roads, following his instincts, his music and sometimes trouble, making mistakes and finding redemption, not the least of all in his own heart... He's made albums for Epic in America, released CDs from his kitchen table and just about everything in between. He’s won an Edison Award in Holland, been on the Billboard Charts and had one of his songs on "Melrose Place". He's been featured in High Times Magazine, written songs on a triple platinum-selling CD in America and survived the “eighties” on the sunset strip in Los Angeles, buying leather pants instead of food, rehearsing a 90 minute full-on rock show twice a day and sharing stages with the likes of Guns’n’Roses and Cheap Trick at night. There were groupies and drugs and yes, sometimes it got ugly..... "Long Lazy Curve" will be available in April in the UK and Europe on Cargo records. Shortly after the release there, "Fallen Sky Records" will release it in Canada, distributed by Universal Music.
