After fronting L.A. rock band Riverdogs (who released their critically acclaimed debut album in 1990 on Epic Records), Lamothe went solo with his debut album ‘Gravity’. The album introduced a more introspective side to Lamothe’s songwriting, exploring a depth of emotions, from sorrow, to love, to pain, to hope; a poignant reflection of the human experience. Showcasing his talents as a truly versatile singer-songwriter and storyteller, Lamothe infuses ‘Gravity’ with blues, folk, and Americana to create a sonic journey of ethereal highs to raw, soul-stirring lows.

‘Gravity’ was written and recorded in the summer of 1994, after returning to Los Angeles from a 30-date European tour with Riverdogs. Writing and recording ‘Gravity’ was medicine, as Rob left longtime musical collaborators in Southern California and moved to Canada, to be near his sons. Arriving in Hamilton, Ontario, he camped out in hotels and basements, carrying his acoustic guitar into any open mic or jam session he could find. Before long, he was meeting and making music with local but world-class musicians, many of whom played and sung on ‘Gravity’.
