Robert Abernathy Band Quickly Becoming Broadway Nashville’s Hottest Show

From the classrooms of Alabama to the seasoned stages of Nashville, Robert Abernathy has certainly made quite the transformation. From traditional teaching, Abernathy has stepped into his blossoming role as Country Music’s most compelling emerging stars. With the refreshing blend of his Southern Gospel roots and traditional Country styles, Abernathy takes his listeners on a journey of reminiscence with his latest album, “Somewhere Around 18.”

Robert’s musical journey began shaping in the heart of Gadsden, Alabama, nourished by Southern Gospel and Traditional Country. The pivotal point occurred during the festive season of 1983, when an enormous stereo system and Michael Jackson’s Thriller record made its way into his hands. The record was instrumental in heightening his affinity for music, and instilled a lifelong passion for embracing and creating captivating melodies.

Years down the line, Robert picked up an old Mickey Mouse acoustic guitar and taught himself to play using a Mel Bay chord book. The legendary band Alabama, and iconic The Eagles, were among his first go-to’s when learning songs. By the age of 16, Abernathy was performing and singing, setting forth on a path that led straight to Nashville’s esteemed Lower Broadway. Today, as Abernathy regularly performs at venues up and down Lower Broadway, he reflects upon his younger days, dreaming about doing just what he is accomplishing today.

Abernathy expressed that the songs in his latest album “Somewhere Around 18” were inspired by his engagements with various songwriters over the past couple of years. These collaborations resulted in an impressive anthology of over 25 songs. Although the initial plan was to release the singles or series of EPs, Abernathy culminated his musical artworks into an album comprising 18 melodious tales. Receiving a positive reception around, each song has a special place in his heart and contributes to the intricate narratives that string together the album.

While hard to single out favorites, Abernathy does admit there are a few that, if he were stuck listening on repeat, he wouldn’t mind. These include “Heaven Has a Radio,” “Out of the Blue,” “A Little Tied Up,” “Beach Looks Good on You,” and “Redneck Magic.” Diverse in their narratives yet inherently special, these tunes contribute to the overall theme of the album – a snippet into the ‘good old days’ of being 18.
