The long-awaited release of his debut album ‘Imaginary Fun’, testifies to a new authentically raw-earthy sound, showcasing Robert’s prodigious songcraft and has garnered huge success with the song ‘Different Road’ awarded ‘Best song in the Folk/Acoustic genre’ at the 2019 Australian Songwriters Assoc. Awards in Sydney.  He also picked up a second award for ‘Best Live Performance’ of the night after taking to the stage to perform the winning song to a record sold-out crowd. 

Robert performed along with the other finalists, The Little River Band, and James Reyne at Lyndoch Uncorked Festival in the Barossa Valley. He’s also supported Lisa Mitchell, Kim Churchill, The Acoustic Guitar Spectacular, Woodford Folk Festival’s ‘Festival of Small Halls’ and played Savannah in the Round Festival 2021 along with Troy Cassar-Daley, John Butler, Lee Kernaghan, Busby Marou and heaps more.
