The Sweet Divine

About Me

Infusing folk roots, driving rock and thoughtful poetics, Robert Rhu & The Sweet Divine will take you on a musical journey not soon forgotten. From their home-base of Boulder, Colorado they are quickly creating ripples that are reaching far and wide. Led by the songwriting of Robert Rhu and supported by an all-star cast of musicians, the Sweet Divine has successfully created a sound that is all their own. That sound is inspiring audiences everywhere.
This is not your average band line-up. The 5 piece band includes pedal steel guitar (Glenn Taylor), cello (Sarah Goodroad), fretless acoustic bass (Adrian Engfer), simple and small drum kit (Amy Shelley) and a vocalist playing acoustic guitar (Robert Rhu).
The rich musical landscape they create can hardly be contained by a particular genre. There’s a wide gamut of influences that are being called upon to establish a sound that is purely their own.
The new album, due out this winter, will surely be a perfect addition to this band’s musical journey. If performances and previous recordings are any indication, this upcoming release is certain to be something to get excited for.
It appears that there is a tipping point on the horizon for this very talented act; a tipping point that will undoubtedly lead to many more devoted fans and acclaim. Listeners are finding this musical experience irresistible as The Sweet Divine weave their compelling brand of acoustic music delicately through listeners ears and into their heart and soul.
