Robby White & The Tejas Gringos

Robby White is a true Texas treasure. His roots are as clearly embedded in Texas soil as are his heart and soul. He grew up with all genres of music as his constant companions and his love for all types of songs continues on today. His passion for music led him to teach himself to play the guitar and piano and before long he was writing his own songs.

He played in rock bands, blues bands, and country bands while traveling across the nation searching for that special sound. Robby even spent time in Jamaica trying to define and blend the rhythms and the sound that could give his audience genuinely different and fresh music… the kind of music that would bring out the foot stompin’ Texan in every person that heard him perform. His honky tonk roadhouse brew of musical experiences helped him to develop a new sound.

With dreams of playing for what he thought was the soul of country music, Robby set out for Nashville to introduce them to “his” music. What he found there was his greatest disappointment to date. There seemed to be no real love for the music there, just the love of how much money the music could deliver. What they wanted was just more of the same old sound of ringing cash registers. After dealing with all of the trappings of the Nashville scene he grew weary of the motivation behind the music there.

Robby headed back to Texas and formed his own band (the tejas gringos) and vowed to play only his own kind of music. He was more interested in making music than he was in making money. He wanted his audience to feel every lyric and note in their hearts just the way he did. Robby rediscovered his heart and soul in the faces of his audiences and it is evident in every song that he writes or sings. Robby’s smile, which is a prominent part of each of his performances, tells it all … he found the sound that he had been searching for and he found it within himself.

Robby White is not your typical singer songwriter, he tells it like it is, and refuses to become part of the mainstream music machine that seems to punch out the same song over and over again. Again, contrary to the mainstream, he has been married to his beautiful wife, Danielle, for 15 years and has two daughters.
