“Mojave Robb” Sansonetti has developed a unique musical style that was born out of both the Mojave Desert and his rural life in Northwest Missouri. Born in California in 1970, Robb grew up listening to bands the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, John Denver, and the Eagles (among others), which had a profound influence on his sound.
At an early age he knew he wanted to make music, and he began playing guitar and writing his own music before he even reached puberty. In his teenage years, Robb performed in heavy metal bands and even had some limited success with a neo-classical speed metal trio called “Sacrament” where he played the bass guitar and sang.
Robb released a self-published record of his collection of early recordings under the name “Robbie Ray” before releasing his first professional recording in 2018 entitled Robb Sansonetti-The “Four and the Floor EP”.
In 2019, Robb released his third record (a single) with “Burley Creek Revival” called “The Weaver’s Net”. In the same year, the band became “Mojave Robb and the Peyoteros” and released a four song EP entitled “The Birdhouse Sessions”, and then a global pandemic shut down the music industry. Robb used that time to work on an upcoming solo LP set to be released some time in 2022.
