Rob Staffig has loved music as long as he can remember. He began playing guitar at 16, after finding his Dads old Sears Silvertone guitar up in the attic. He bought John Denvers Greatest Hits music book, and determined to learn, literally played the daylights out of the song, Country Roads.
Rob competed in and won various talent and variety shows around his home area in Michigan. He wrote his first song in July of 1980 titled I Believe in You. Since then Rob has written over 90 original songs.
Rob left Michigan in April of 1982 and ended up in Casper. He competed in talent contests in Casper, winning twice at the city level of the True Value Country Showdowns in 1986 and 1991. After trying to get a band together without any luck, he struck out on his own and has been entertaining throughout Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana and Colorado for the past 23 years.
In 1992 Rob released a pilot demo of his song I Need A Vacation. Sent to Music Row Magazine by local AM radio station KVOC in August 1992, it received an honorable mention in the Critics Corner with Joe Diffes song Next Thing Smokin In 1996, he opened for Country Music Star David Lee Murphy at the Everglades Seafood Festival in Everglades City, FL. In 1997 Rob was invited back to open for David Ball and the Bellamy Brothers.
When asked what artists music he enjoys singing the most, Rob doesnt hesitate; Without a doubt, Neil Diamond. Besides a collection of Neil Diamonds songs, Rob entertains with other favorites from Bob Seger and George Strait, including original songs from his self-titled CD Rob Staffig & CD Drive-In Nights.
Rob is working on a novel titled Fate Awaits, a fiction-based-on-fact novel about his amazing journey searching for his biological past.
