Wild Honey Presents: Rob Morrow & Carlos Calvo and Alex Jules for the Autism Think Tank
As the second Sunday afternoon show in our 2019 series, Wild Honey Presents actor/singer/songwriter Rob Morrow & Carlos Calvo, in a very special acoustic duo performance, with Special Guest Alex Jules (Bebopalula, Denny Laine, and the Monkees) for the Autism Think Tank.
ROB MORROW & CARLOS CALVO: Known for his nuanced acting on hit TV shows Numb3rs, Billions, Entourage, American Crime Story: The People Vs O.J. Simpson, Designated Survivor, and Northern Exposure, which garnered him three Golden Globe and two Emmy Award nominations, while also generating acclaim for roles in the films Mother, Flint, The Bucket List, and the Academy-Award nominated Quiz Show, storied actor/director, Rob Morrow, is conquering a new frontier as he takes the music world by storm with a highly anticipated debut album as Rob Morrow Band featuring Carlos Calvo.
In early 2017, Morrow formed a band with guitarist Carlos Calvo, a Hollywood Film & TV Coach who's taught Adam Levine, David Duchovny, Ambyr Childers, Gethin Anthony, Marg Helgenberger, David Oyelowo, and many others, to play guitar. The pair had already been co-writing songs for several years. Writing music as an unencumbered way to express himself with, no studios, no networks, and no negotiations, Rob fell in love with the infinite simplicity of the song form, You can see the beginning, middle and end on one page.
In Calvo, Rob found a simpatico collaborator with many gifts as the two work seamlessly together to create the bands original songs. The duo connected with producer Steve Postell, known for his work with Jackson Browne, Richard Thompson, and David Crosby, to enlist rock icons Bob Glaub, bassist for Steve Nicks and Journey, and Tom Petty-drummer Steve Ferrone, to lay the groundwork for what would become a bold modern record with a classic sound.
Highlights include the Paul McCartney-flavored Good As Dead, the moody Eagles-tinged Man With Many Names, the soul-searing Nobody Wins, the feel-good, finger-snapping shuffle of The New, New Face," which acclaimed Music Connection journalist Jonathan Widran championed, a dreamy-mystical folk-rock number with a spirited organic beat and lush vocal harmonies. Other standouts include the emotional tour-du-force, "Tyranny of Beauty," which has an epic Grateful Dead sounding outro, the George Thorogood boogie of Out and About, which was featured in an episode of the Freeform show, The Fosters, the seductive groove of New York Lovers and the melancholy sweetness of All You Do.
In addition to Calvo, Rob Morrow Band members include bassist Carlos Costa, and drummer Alex Gonzales. Over the last twelve months, RMB has built a loyal following in LA with spirited shows at The Mint, Viper Room, Bogies, Molly Malones, Santa Monica Playhouse, Venice Art Walk, ALS Associations SoCal Ride to Defeat ALS, and The CMO Club conference, which brings together hundreds of Chief Marketing Officers and Senior Marketing Executives from Fortune 1000 companies. They were also tapped to play the 35th Annual Eyes To The Skies Festival in Lisle, IL, in suburban Chicago, where they rocked the main stage on a weekend bill that included Cassadee Pope, Foghat and Reverend Horton Heat. Sounds of Timeless Jazz praised the bands use of various textures and tonality which revealed their mastery and skills on their respective instruments.
