Let Uncle Rock (Robert Burke Warren, former bassist of the late-’70s punk group the Fleshtones) do what his name implies: get your kids moving to his country-infused rockabilly tunes. Today, kids will hear brand-new songs from The Big Picture, the crooner’s new disc, which pays tribute to the likes of David Bowie, the Rolling Stones and Johnny Cash.

Part of what sets him apart is Uncle Rock’s artful approach to oft-overlooked topics like conspicuous consumption (“Too Many Presents”) the plight of Arctic-dwelling friends (“Polar Bear Over There”) the need for downtime (“Nothin’ Doin’”) and even the fact of death (“Picnic In The Graveyard”). This offbeat approach, plus a dynamic live show, has won critical praise from the L.A. Times, the New York Times and Cookie Magazine, to name a few, and Uncle Rock has been a mainstay on Sirius/XM Satellite radio, spending much of 2008 in the Top 20.

With three highly acclaimed CDs and a newly-minted DVD, Uncle Rock continues to be embraced by a rapidly growing fanbase, gigging all over the U.S.; from the Austin City Limits Festival, to NYC’s Symphony Space, to Philadelphia’s World Café, to McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica.
