A few weeks into his Monday-night residency at Molly Malones, the incredibly versatile and talented Rob Giles rocked the stage with guests Adjoa Skinner and The Rescues (see The Rescues review from May 8).
If you’re not already familiar with Rob Giles, know him as the artist who likely has produced some of your favorite albums by local emerging artists (to name a few: Laura Jansen, Nina Storey, Tim Fagan and Lisa Donnelly) and worked with such prestigious talent as Willie Nelson, Kid Rock, Will Hoge, Tom Petty, The Dixie Chicks, Collective Soul and Patty Griffin.
A testament to Rob’s generosity and wide support of the LA indie/rock/aoustic scene, he has begun a tradition of inviting artist friends to share the stage with him during the Monday night performance. As a result, each Monday show is quite unique; so, if you’ve been to one of Rob’s shows before, don’t use that as an excuse not to return!!
Rob’s recent solo work, including soon-to-be-released album “Happy” and “This is All in Your Mind” (2007), features thoughtful emotive compositions with lyrics ranging from comical to tender and profound. At the heart of each song is a deep understanding of musical arrangement and a relatable story which Rob guides you through eloquently.
So, if your last Monday night fell short of brilliance, treat yourself to a pint or two of beer at Molly Malones, some tunes that will surely inspire the rest of your week, and the opportunity to discover where the real talent is hiding out at.
