You may not recognize his name (yet) but if you listen to country music radio, you know his voice. It’s the thick, sultry, and slightly raspy voice of Teddy Robb begging you not to “Lead Me On.” The newcomer recently performed at the High Watt.

The High Watt is an intimate, industrial-style venue located in Nashville’s Historic Cannery building. Bartenders greeted concert-goers with the signature drink called the “Gin and Platonic” which is a nod to lyrics in the song, “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You.” By the start of the show, the venue was near capacity as fans squeezed in for a better look at the Monument Records artist.
The Akron, Ohio native first picked up a guitar 10 years ago, and has since sang his way from hometown open mic nights to the Broadway bar scene. His voice was quickly noticed by Nashville talent scouts and soon he was performing for larger audiences, writing with Grammy Award-winning songwriters (Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne wrote “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You”), and opening for Pat Green, Carly Pearce, and Russell Dickerson. Not to mention his debut song “Lead Me On” is playing on country music radio stations across the country. Robb performed the two previously mentioned hits as well as a new song titled “Tell Me How.”
Robb’s journey is one that many musicians take; dropping everything to move the Nashville for a shot at becoming a star. Few are as successful, and as talented, as Robb. If the energy at the concert is any indication of Robb’s popularity, then the future is looking good for this up and coming artist.
