Robby Peoples & The Congress
Robby Peoples embarked on his musical career at the age of 19. Playing harmonica, guitar, and writing songs on his back porch in his college town of Oxford, Mississippi - Robby became a self-taught natural. Cutting his teeth in Jackson, his music career began with far ranging appearances in the rich local music scene.
Since then, Robby has relocated to Colorado where he’s found a unique niche as a Southern, soulful, and almost dirty at times artist. With the relocation to Denver, he has been fortunate enough to play with many heavy hitters in the rock and roll and blues genres; including Sam Holt, Polytoxic, an opening slot for Leon Russel, and guest appearances in a Thanksgiving Day Eve performance of The Last Waltz in which he has consistently became a fan favorite. He has also joined forces with The Congress over the years for both East Coast and West Coast tours as well as locally here in Colorado. He is currently working on a new record with Ben Walligoskie, James Dunn, Kramer Kelling, and Scott Rouch.
Robby continuously evolves his live performance, always producing a solid rock experience. Compared to the style of Muddy Waters with the energy and showmanship of Joe Cocker, his performances are raw and energy packed. He exudes a “fighting the good fight” outlook to keep Southern rock and roll alive with his energetic, lyrical, and aggressively edgy performances which continue to draw people back to his music.
