About Me

Rob Gateley grew up as a rock drummer in the late 60's early 70's. He went on the road at age 16 playing in different bands and drumming for black soul singer Clifford Currey. Because his dad was in the music business, there were always musical instruments laying around the house and Rob started playing guitar and 5-string banjo when he was 14. At age 19, he got a job playing drums in Tanya Tucker's band and stayed there a couple of years. Robert played bass for John Hartford on one of his last albums "Speed of the Old Long Bow". His lead and baritone harmony vocals are showcased in the band, Pam Daley and Beyond the Blue along with his wealth of original songs. Robert wrote two songs on Doyle Lawson's Grammy nominated CD including the title cut "The Hard Game of Love" and "Nightingale". He has had songs recorded by David Parmley and Continental Divide, Keith Little, Dailey and Vincent, the bluegrass allstar band White House, Pam Daley, Cherryholmes family, Dan Tyminski and many others. The above video is from the movie "Las Vegas Hillbillies". Bill Anderson's first band configuration.
