Artist description Whirlybird is a product of hungry and eccentricly humorous lyrics, combined with tight melodic grooves & imagery that drop kick the listener into the quirky mental world of Mississippi native and lead singer Rob Robinson. His boundless energy and determination are as distinctive as his sandy voice and unusual lyrics. Add the midwestern influences of lead guitarist Tom Bukovac, Bass guitarist Spencer Campbell and Drummer Shawn Fichter and you have industry insiders like Grammy award winner and former Guns & Roses mgr Vicky Hamilton describing Whirlybird's music as "fresh and exciting" and New York Times syndicated writer John Shelton-Ivany adding the indie alt/pop rockers to his "Top 21 CD's of the Year" list.
