Rob Aspinall - Misty Morning Roads Single Launch (with Sam Sly)

Join Rob Aspinall to celebrate the release of his latest single ‘Misty Morning Roads’ at The Shaking Hand. The show will feature a solo set from Rob with acoustic versions of his old favourites, followed by Sam Sly with her full band, finishing up with Rob and his whole band, playing a mix of old and new originals.

Rob Aspinall is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ based in Canberra, providing infectious RnB grooves and Neo-Soul flavour to his audiences. Taking influence from the likes of Masego, Jordan Rakei, Hiatus Kaiyote, Robert Glasper and Allen Stone – Rob and his band blur the lines between Jazz, Hip Hop and Soul to create cross-genre intricate soundscapes, with carefully crafted lyrics depicting experiences from self-love to artistic struggle. Rob has performed at local venues including Gang Gang Café and Stage 88 alongside artists such as SAFIA, Koebi Faumui and Chris Endrey, to international stages such as Rhythm Room and Gold Diggers Los Angeles, also making appearances at festivals such as Orange Winter Jazz Festival and Floriade. Rob released his debut single ‘Dorilla’ in late 2022 in collaboration with Emcee MN Cappo. An exploration of genre blending, ‘Dorilla’ represents a cross-section of Jazz and Hip Hop sensibilities as Rob and MN Cappo weave their individual artistries into one track.

Rob’s upcoming single ‘Misty Morning Roads’ is a continuation of his unique artistry, boasting a deep R&B groove, thought-provoking lyricism and an agile vocal performance. ‘Misty Morning Roads’ is the final product of a work conceived during Rob’s time at the ANU School of Music.
