Rob Barr got his start in music while living in the Chicagoland area back in 1994. His Band Wally had moderate success in the 90’s opening up for acts like the Bloodhound Gang, Jill Sobule, and a Chicago favorite, a late 70’s early 80’s success Off Broadway.
In 1999 Wally broke up and Rob moved to San Diego, CA. a few years later to work for an organization helping veterans find careers within the construction trades. As time went on the opportunities for a music career got smaller and smaller he focused more on business and eventually started his own company A Hero Foundation 501(c)(3) to help veterans and their spouses transition to any career that would fit their path.
While creating music is hard these days with a wife and two kids, Rob still find the time to write and record songs in his private home studio. Today he has over an albums worth of material and want to donate the proceeds from his music to his nonprofit to help bring brand awareness, to the organization and raise money to build new programs to help returning veterans and their families.
You can find Rob Barr’s songs on any applications such as ITunes, Rhapsody, and Spotify and purchase songs for only .99. Seeing that the organization is dealing with veterans, according to Rob, they do not want to run donation campaigns to those who have served stating that it would defeat the purpose of what we are trying to do.
Take a listen and if you like know that you will be supporting a good cause.
