Rob Baird first picked up a guitar when he was 8 years old and hasn’t put it down since. A Memphis native, he spent most of his life working on farms and ranches across the heartland and was introduced to country music of all kinds. He remembers friends introducing him to Chris Knight and taking a liking to the style of music, “I started thinking about how great it would be to move to Texas and start playing music.” A major in Ranch Management at Texas Christian University was all it took to convince him to follow his dream. Rob moved to Fort Worth and played his first live show at The Aardvark and when his earnings that night made him more than a month of ranching, he began to consider the idea of a career in music.
