Robby Hecht is one of Nashville's leading lights and has quickly
established himself as a truly original voice of new America with
thoughtful songs blended with glorious melodies.

Robby Hecht's music represents a return to the early 70s golden era of
acoustic pop where thoughtful, well-crafted lyrics were blended with
timeless melodies to impact mainstream music and culture. His debut
album Late Last Night, produced by Lex Price (Mindy Smith) and mixed by
Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Josh Rouse), was released in May of 2008
and features an impressive list of guest performers including Mindy
Smith, Jeff Coffin, Thad Cockrell, Jill Andrews (The Everybodyfields),
John Deaderick (Patty Griffin), Andrea Zonn (James Taylor) and more.
Raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Robby first began writing and performing
while attending The University of Wisconsin-Madison, developing and
pairing his soulful voice and unique finger-style guitar. After spending
time living in Paris and San Francisco, and a period fronting the band
AllDay Radio, he eventually returned to his home state, settling in
Nashville. Robby has shared the stage with such legendary artists as
Richie Havens, Greg Brown, and Patty Griffin, and garnered comparisons
to early James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Amos Lee. Like these celebrated
artists, Robby Hecht is a unique voice -- one that is stirring,
instantly recognizable and truly original. Earlier this year he was
offered the rare accolade for an American of a solo slot at Glasgow's
Celtic Connection Festival where he went down a storm and we are
delighted that he's chosen to return to the UK in 2010.
