Robert C. Fullerton singer/songwriter

    Robert C Fullerton says that he grew up in a home where the radio was on more than the television. With a mother who listened to Elvis and the Beatles, and played piano in a little country church, music was all around him. Teaching himself to play guitar at the age of 12, started him on a journey through many musical styles and expressions. Church musician, high school choral director, adjudicator, folk musician, jazz musician, rock cover band musician… Whether performing originals or covers, these influences can be heard in Robert's performances.

     Robert has spent the past several years focusing on one thing: writing and performing his own songs. “I’ve helped other people with the instrumental parts of their songs, arranged choral pieces, written instrumental pieces, but lyrics never came easily. So, I seldom ever tried.” That has changed! Robert now has five studio albums (with a sixth due in 2024), two EP's, and several singles to his credit.

     Drawing lyrical inspiration from everyday settings, and musically from all of his past expressions, gives him a somewhat unique sound. You might call it “Americana”, call it “jazzy folk”, or (to use Robert’s term) “acoustic soul”. He has opened for regional acts, “The Beekeepers”, and “No Any Walls”, “The Wyld Bros.”, and is a local favorite at Norfolk, CT’s Infinity Hall. Several of his songs are featured in Elmwood Productions’ series, “The Risely Brothers”, as well as their short feature, "Bernice, Too!" Robert has also written music (theme songs and scores) for the "Nutmeg Junction" and "Barnaby Druthers" radio programs, as well as a commissioned song ("Nothing Left But Empty") for a Our Transportation Future campaign.
