Rob Leines en Barcelona

Rob Leines is a project that blends outlaw country, southern rock and rock & roll with electric guitars. His concert at Sala Upload Barcelona places him in the city with a set of his own songs.

Rob Leines started out working as a welder and gave up that trade when his songs demanded more of his time. He went out to defend them on stage, and the album Blood Sweat and Beers introduced him to a wider audience. That record took him on tour with Dwight Yoakam and The Mavericks.

Since then his career has grown gradually, accumulating concerts and miles on the road. It has placed him within the American roots scene, and he is now preparing a new album of unreleased songs.

His songs draw on outlaw country, pass through southern rock and arrive at rock & roll. The lyrics speak of hard work, bars, broken relationships and decisions taken to the limit, backed by electric guitars. The approach avoids period nostalgia and moves between country and rock without choosing one over the other. The concert takes place at Sala Upload Barcelona, a venue that hosts concerts and performances.
