Rob Baird plays McGonigel's Mucky Duck, a 120-capacity small room in Upper Kirby, on Saturday, December 12. The show starts at 8:30 PM. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (34k listeners, 120 capacity). Rob Baird also has 3 other dates on Go See Shows, in Fort Worth and Austin.
Rob Baird grew up in Memphis, sneaking into Beale Street juke joints before he was old enough to order a drink. A Nashville publishing deal came fast in his early twenties, but he wanted independence more, so he left for Texas and built his own thing on his own timeline. Seven albums on his own label. Songs in Yellowstone and Nashville. Praise from Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal. Nearly 100 million streams. “I have known that it takes 20 years to be a really well-versed songwriter,” Baird says. “That work was worth it.” For his eighth record, Smoke on the Breeze, the searching was over. “The previous record was like getting my graduate degree,” he says.
