Richard Brobst's bio...

Richard Brobst is a singer/sngwriter in the americana/"americountry" genre. Keith Bradford, from KMA Records, called his songs "americountry" as they combine americana lyrics set to a country band. KMA produced Richard's latest CD--Might Be Today.
His lyrics and delivery also differ from pure country. Richard will put more emphasis on imagery than hook lines. He is not a country singer--more folkish..in the americana genre. Richard has a number of influences--Prine, Cohen, Dylan Cash, Woody Guthrie. He has been told that these are often reflected in his lyrics and vocals. Influences are influences.
Above all, Richard's lyrics are fresh and unique--a sound not found in today's country scene. His songs bring messages of simplicity to a hard world.
Besides music, Richard has been writing poetry for anthologies, text books, university journals, etc. for 30 years. "Poetry requires a keen observations of the subtleties of life, and my songs are an extension of my poetry."
