About Rob Lytle
Rob Lytle is a touring Americana songwriter and performer whose songs move between country, folk-rock and roots music, with an emphasis on complex emotional layers, melody and experiences that resonate.
The first thing you’ll notice is a voice that is effortlessly powerful and immediately intimate. Rob’s voice has been compared favorably to artists such as Jackson Browne, Jonathan Edwards and James Taylor for its unique clarity and seemingly effortless ability to navigate interesting melodies.
That voice, combined with songs that move from humor to wry observation to satisfying moments of recognition, has led Rob to be described as “an irresistible artist, the kind whose vocal tenderness and lyrical honesty compel you to listen.”
His latest album, Americana Dream, was produced by Merel Bregante at Cribworks Digital Audio in Liberty Hill, Texas, and mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terra Nova Mastering. The twelve-song collection has earned radio airplay and enthusiastic reviews in the U.S. and Europe.
“Americana Dream is ‘an album of quality, great storytelling and extraordinary musicality.’”
— Rory M. Stanbridge, FATEA Magazine (UK)
“Bregante’s production is as clean as a brand-new whistle. Every instrument is given the space it needs to breathe, and the vocals are uniformly pristine.”
— At The Barrier
“Rob Lytle has released more excellent music with his new album, Americana Dream. Give him a listen!”
— Lilli Kuzma, Folk Festival, WDCB Public Radio
Rob performs at festivals, listening rooms, songwriter venues and private house concerts across North America. His previous recording projects, You. Must. Stop. and a hypocrite of heart and hope, were released internationally to critical acclaim.
Allan Cackett of Maverick Music Magazine described You. Must. Stop. as “the musical equivalent of a previously undiscovered Gainsborough” and “one of those all-too-rare albums where every track is a standout.”

“You. Must. Stop. is still one of my favourite albums of the decade. I’m playing Americana Dream tonight and loving it. The longing in Rob’s voice is such a trademark of his music.”
