ROBERT HAZARD
Acclaim Mounts as Veteran Tunesmith Uncovers "Rootsy, Blues-Inflected Side" with The Seventh Lake
Strong Response Sparks Production on Followup CD with 4-time Grammy Nominee Producing
"Robert Hazard has found a new powerful voice." - Sing Out!
"At times, he sounds like Scarecrow-era Mellencamp, tapping a wide range of folk and roots styles to spin his yarns." - Philadelphia Inquirer
ROBERT HAZARD has long been held in high regard for his craftsmanship as singer-songwriter and his ability to deliver his songs. But until recently, he hasn�t truly unleashed the storyteller inside.
In an audacious return to his songwriting roots, as well as his recording career, the native Philadelphian - who now splits his time between the Adirondack mountains and the Central Florida coast - has reached deep from within to create his most recent album, THE SEVENTH LAKE. Produced by the legendary T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates, Carly Simon, Elvis Costello, Saturday Night Live Band). read more... |

press quotes
"EVERYBODY�S TALKIN" ABOUT ROBERT HAZARD
"He has grown into his own skin with songwriting more personal and singing more natural than ever before. ... Robert Hazard has found a new powerful voice in the songs and performances on these two new albums." - Sing Out!
"At times, he sounds like Scarecrow-era Mellencamp, tapping a wide range of folk and roots styles to spin his yarns." - Philadelphia Inquirer
"The Seventh Lake is a perfectly paced, perfectly pitched tour of Americana." - Allentown Morning Call
"Reflective charmers like 'Everybody's Talkin', 'Route 666' and 'Whole Lot of Water' make a case that he's doing some of his best work." - Wilmington News Journal
"Hazard's new music establishes him as a poetic, sometimes autobiographical songwriter and a soulful singer. His music still rocks at times, but his blues and country influences are more obvious.� - Newark Star Ledger
"(The Seventh Lake) is full of literate, moving roots rock." - Asbury Park Press
"The songs evoke � Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. The Seventh Lake ... broaches similar subject matter, too, addressing ordinary people with broken hearts and broken lives." - Princeton Packet

bio
ROBERT HAZARD
THE SEVENTH LAKE
I was born in Philadelphia in 1948. My father was an opera singer with the Philadelphia Opera Company. Obviously, I didn�t follow in his footsteps, but did learn a bit about music appreciation.
I started singing and writing songs about about age 10. I didn�t really play guitar till much later. In my teens I would audition at coffee houses like �The Second of Autumn� and �The Edge� in the Philadelphia area. I never got a job, but learned about acoustic music by hanging out at these places listening to Eric Andersen, Chris Smither, Jimmy Webb, and other great song writers and poet guitar players. read more... |
