ROBERT HAZARD
Acclaim Mounts as Veteran Tunesmith Uncovers "Rootsy, Blues-Inflected Side" with The Seventh Lake
"Robert Hazard has found a new powerful voice." - Sing Out!
"At times, he sounds like Scarecrow-era Mellencamp, tapping a wide range of folk and roots styles to spin his yarns." - Philadelphia Inquirer
ROBERT HAZARD has long been held in high regard for his craftsmanship as singer-songwriter and his ability to deliver his songs. But until now, he hasnít truly unleashed the storyteller inside.
In an audacious return to his songwriting roots, as well as his recording career, the native Philadelphian ñ who now splits his time between the Adirondack mountains and the Central Florida coast ñ has reached deep from within to create THE SEVENTH LAKE. Hazardís self-released, haunting new collection of intimate and revealing songs about life, love and relationships, produced by the legendary T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates, Carly Simon, Elvis Costello, Saturday Night Live Band). read more...

press quotes

bio
ROBERT HAZARD
THE SEVENTH LAKE
I was born in Philadelphia in 1948. My father was an opera singer with the Philadelphia Opera Company. Obviously, I didnít follow in his footsteps, but did learn a bit about music appreciation.
I started singing and writing songs about about age 10. I didnít really play guitar till much later. In my teens I would audition at coffee houses like ìThe Second of Autumnî and ìThe Edgeî in the Philadelphia area. I never got a job, but learned about acoustic music by hanging out at these places listening to Eric Andersen, Chris Smither, Jimmy Webb, and other great song writers and poet guitar players. read more...
