“Rock n’ Roll with a cowboy hat” is one way Rob Leines describes his music. That hat is worn by the type of cowboy that puts in the long hours to do the things that sometimes only he can appreciate. So much time on the road away from family and friends chasing his dream that sometimes only he alone can see. Before going all-in on a music career, Leines was a welder traveling from one construction site to another but gave that up in 2021 to hit the road in support of his second release Blood, Sweat, and Beers. I was made aware of the guitar-driven power trio late in 2022 when they opened for Silverada (formerly Mike & the Moonpies at that time) at Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, Texas and completely dominated the legendary dancehall stage. Fast forward to 2024 and the new Rob Leines release Headcase, produced by Mike Harmeier (the “Mike” of the Moonpies) and renowned Roots Music producer Adam Odor (who has worked with Harmeier for many years), will drop on June 14.
