Episode 55: Rob Lamothe of Riverdogs & Cross Country Driver

Episode 55: Rob Lamothe of Riverdogs & Cross Country Driver

Rob Lamothe was born in La Jolla, CA in 1958 and his house was full of music and he was singing in ​Latin as a soloist in church choirs by the time he was 12-years-old. And he’s never stopped ​singing since.

He’s always liked this quote from The Toronto Star: “Rob Lamothe is a mercurial artist ​who slides effortlessly from rustic roots music to full-blown rock". He grew up listening to ​Mahalia Jackson, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and The Beatles and saw Led Zeppelin in ​concert three times by his mid-teens. So, yeah, he’s mercurial.

Rob released his first major label album (Epic Records) in 1990 with the Riverdogs and has shared stages with everyone from Guns 'n' Roses to members of the Toronto ​Symphony Orchestra and has toured throughout Europe close to 30 times now.

He also spent 15 years on the faculty at Interprovincial Music Camp, north of Toronto, where ​he built and ran a Songwriting Camp for kids aged 12 to 18 and has worked with a bunch of ​young artists over the years who have gone on to score record deals and tours ​around the globe.

In Episode 55 of The Jersey Guys Podcast we talk with Rob about his days with the Riverdogs and get some great background information on all 4 of their albums, including the 2017 “comeback” album titled “California” on Frontiers Records. We also get the lowdown on his 2023 pandemic project of sorts, Cross Country Driver, and Rob shares with us if there will ever be another Riverdogs album.

So, sit back, relax and check out this great episode!
