Chill Out To The Husky Tones Of Rob Lea And Friends At Tamworth Food Gusto Festival Sunday 9th Sept

by

Join us Sunday 9th September at the Tamworth Food Gusto Festival and listen to the beautiful husky tones of Rob Lea.

Rob Lea is a talented, solo, singer/guitarist from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Rob has been performing in the area for over 7 years now and has a reputation for being one of the shining lights in the local music scene. As well as performing locally, Rob also has experience playing gigs all over Europe with his band The Four Kicks – a Kings of Leon tribute band, which he formed due to the uncanny, vocal similarity he bares to the lead singer Caleb.
Rob’s voice has also been likened to other, successful, male artists such as Paolo Nutini – perhaps due to the husky tones both singers possess. Rob Lea is a fantastic acoustic musician with an extremely eclectic mix of Motown, Soul, Rock, Indie and Pop hits delivered in his own smooth, unique style to set the perfect relaxed tone to taste some of the best food and drink the region has to offer.
