Robert Hazard’s songwriting craftsmanship was cemented worldwide when he penned the eternal pop anthem, Girls Just Want to Have Fun. In an audacious return to his Americana roots, Robert unleashes the storyteller inside on his latest album, the acclaimed The Seventh Lake, his T-Bone Wolk-produced collection of haunting, intimate, & revealing songs about life, love, & relationships. In recent months, Robert has opened for Chris Smither, Jonatha Brooke, Patty Loveless, Steve Forbert, Hall & Oates, & Todd Rundgren; has appeared at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Bridgeton, NJ Folk Festival, & Bethlehem, PA Musikfest; & has organized & hosted a major benefit concert for New Jersey flood victims. The Seventh Lake has received radio airplay at a number of Triple A & folk outlets around the country, including Philadelphia’s award-winning Triple A station WXPN, & he entered the studio in March ’06 to begin work on the much-anticipated followup, produced by four-time Grammy nominee Skip Drinkwater. Sing Out!, Paste, Philadelphia Inquirer, Newark Star-Ledger, Baltimore Sun, Asbury Park Press, & Harrisburg Patriot-News top a fast-growing list of media praising Robert’s latest effort. He also has made several recent TV performances: NBC10’s 10!
