BIO

Buffalo, NY singer-songwriter Rob Falgiano explores light and shade with playful, intimate lyrics about the messy, beautiful human experience. His experimental pop approach incorporates jazz, new wave, and early rock & country with ambient electronica.

'...an opening set by singer/ songwriter Rob Falgiano, whose remarkable vocal range turned some heads.' - Joe Sweeney, Buffalo News (Ingrid Michaelson concert review)

'Funk-rock band grooves with hints of soul and jazz, influenced by groups like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and the Robert Glasper Experiment.' - Cory Perla, The Public

'His use of digital blips and beats as flourishes sound something like Elvis Costello singing with the Postal Service.' - Peter Vullo, Artvoice

'Rob Falgiano took to the stage first. In a way, he was both Simon and Garfunkel. His stature and guitar skills invoked the former while his vocals recalled the latter.' - Mackenzie Lambert, Buffalo Rising (Ingrid Michaelson concert review)

'His (opening set) presented the audience with a mosaic of influences that conjure up a likable & sometimes funky sound. His work vaguely resembles that of John Mayer's earlier soft pop rock albums.' - Allison Eck, Buffalo News (Three Dog Night concert review)

'His strongest, most finely detailed and compelling collection to date.' - Jeff Miers, Buffalo News

'Daring and delicately understated.' - Donny Kutzbach, Artvoice

'The album is gorgeous. His music smacks of a hard-won humanism, tempered by a clearly blossoming songwriting talent.' - The Buffalo News

'What's impressive about your work is your unwillingness to settle for the obvious. More challenging than simply crafting a pop tune, but when you put the elements together properly the sky's the limit.' - Taxi.com

'Falgiano is more interested in making an album of value instead of writing one for the casual crowd.' - SoundtheSirens.com

'Many will be won over by Rob's voice alone, Neil Finn-like on the opener and sporting a mellow-soul falsetto.' - Muse's Muse
