Creating a soundtrack for the journey...

Born and raised on the beaches of Long Island, New York, Rob Riccardo’s musical foundation was initially formed by the surf-inspired artists that soundtracked his coastal upbringing. Equally influenced by acoustic roots artists and the classic troubadours from his father's record collection, Riccardo's own music didn't begin to take shape until leaving the South Shore for the Southwest.

Since 2017, Riccardo has self-released nine albums and numerous singles, remixes and EPs. From acoustic indie folk to layered anthemic arrangements, the singer-songwriter's catalog reflects the journey from his ocean roots to life in the great expanses of the American West. 

Rob Riccardo is currently on hiatus from touring, but is now back in the studio working on his next collection of music. The first song from that new collection, “I Believe in Us” was released on October 16.
