With two well-received albums under his belt, UK Northern country artist Rob Wheeler is set to take his latest record Leave Tomorrow on the road.
These songs were written during a four-month stint in Nashville, Tennessee, a collaborative effort with a multitude of acclaimed musicians, among them Grammy-nominated songwriters Jeff Trott, Steve Dorff and Frank Liddell. Having grown up in a small town in England’s grey North West, becoming obsessed with The Beatles and learning the songs of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and The Eagles on guitar as a means of escape, Leave Tomorrow is a full-circle moment for Rob Wheeler, bringing his worlds of UK and American music together.
‘Growing up in the North West of England, Nashville represented to me what I imagine Hollywood represents to aspiring actors. A mythical land that seems both untouchable and utterly irresistible.
‘My American heroes sang about cowboys and horses, desperados and drifters; but I write and sing about what I see from my own window and how it feels from my point of view.’ - Rob Wheeler
