Nashville-based singer-songwriter, Rob Harris, crafts songs that feel like home—stories of life, love, and laughter that are relatable and unforgettably genuine. He has written songs for some of the biggest names in music. They just don’t know it yet. 😉
Rob’s journey has taken him from opening for Grammy® and Dove Award-winning artists to sharing the stage with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and KISS legend, Ace Frehley. His creative touch shines in his acoustic waltz arrangement of "Free Bird," featured on the debut album of ACM Award-winning duo Joey+Rory.
His songwriting credits include co-writing two Top-10 singles and earning a GOLD record for "Greasy John Deere Cap" on Tim Hicks’ album Throw Down. His songs have been recorded by The Lovelocks, Ivan Parker, Karen Peck, Marcia Ramirez as well as a host of indie artists. Garth Brooks praised Rob’s “How to Bend,” calling it “a beautiful sentiment, a timeless message and a great song.”
Whether leading worship at events nationwide for over 40 years or playing intimate shows filled with original songs and classic covers—from Tom Petty and The Beatles to U2 and Foo Fighters—he brings warmth and versatility to every performance. His set list is as eclectic as it is timeless.
Beyond music, Rob is also an actor. His on-screen work includes Holland (Nicole Kidman, Matthew Mcfadyen), A Nashville Country Christmas (Tanya Tucker, Keith Carradine) and Someone Like You by Karen Kingsbury.

You can even spot him in music videos for James Arthur (“Just Us”), Sam Hunt (“Locked Up”), Caroline Owens ("You've Still Got It") and Hardy (“Psycho”, where he plays Hardy’s father-in-law).
Rob shares life with his wife, Lara, their three incredible daughters, one son-in-law, two above-average dogs and three scheming cats who are likely plotting world domination.
