The Robert Socia Band

A two party democracy, is tyranny in disguise

About Me

"The photographs of Robert Socia have apparently been doctored. Surely that fresh-faced, whisker-free youngster can't be the guy who sings with a world-weary rasp and writes the same sort of shadowy tunes on this self-titled debut. If it is, Socia is mature beyond his years." - Jim Caligiuri - Austin Chronicle, " “With strings, percussion, and poetry, the Robert Socia (Band) paints portraits of real people and real places.” — Ray Wood, Texas Music Beat, “These are melodic story songs with a solid beat. Updated country rock. Texas roots rock at its best.” — Bobby Earl Smith, “Always like something that reminds me of Steve Earle.” — Dale Dudley, The Dudley and Bob Show, KLBJ Austin Texas, “Sort of a young Lyle Lovett.” — John Aielli, KUT Eklektikos, KUT 90.5 Austin, Texas
