Woooooow! Has it been that long?



Looking forward to the weekend at the Minnesota State Fair. Hope everyone can make it out. We have all the CD's in print and also the new one "Viva La Twang!"....some T-shirts...photos and kittens...(maybe not kittnes?). For the MP3ers we have released the first single from the CD, "Six Nights Of Sin" with a b-side "Coffee Stains Waltz" on Download card. Hope to get a few of the new ones into the show both Friday & Saturday.

Info about the songs... Six Nights Of Sin, kind of speaks for itself... it was written for my Uncle Junior, who claimed he was as bad as Bobby Vee was good! Not a bad claim to fame. The song pretty much tells the story of good ol' Uncle Junior.

Coffee Stains Waltz...a road trip tune. Over the years I really wanted to write this song...it finally showed up.

When I was young growing up in LA, as a family we would road trip every Summer camping out etc...to a lake home in Detroit Lakes MN. My father had this tape that he would play over and over again, we would fall asleep to it...wake up to it. To this day I remember those road trips from the songs on that tape...like a lullaby, songs of Summer. It was a blue tape. We called it "The Coffee Stains Tape", because the only real way to ID it from other tapes was that it had coffee stains on the label from sitting on the dash.

Cool stuff.

Hope to see you this weekend!

Welcome to Robby Vee on your mobile phone!


Thanks for downloading my mobile app!

My name is Robby Bryan Vee. I had the good fortune of growing up around my idols in the music business and later the opportunity to work with many of them.

I'm named after my father Bobby Vee and family friend Brian Hyland, both legendary pop music icons.

I've been touring world wide for over a decade sharing stages and credits with the architecs and legends of rock 'n' roll, such as Little Richard, Buddy Holly's Crickets, Carl Perkins, The Everly Brothers, Bo Diddley, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Dick Clarks "Caravan of the Stars" rock 'n' roll show and many more... I did some 'picking' on the NEW Crickets CD "The Crickets Buddies" in stores now, featuring the late Waylon Jennings, Eric Clapton, John Prine, Nancy Griffith and others....

Also, check out BOP! Released a couple years ago.

This CD shares co-writes with Wayne Carson of "The Letter" and "You Were Always On My Mind" fame. Look for my NEW release "LIQUID LOVE" out this summer, featuring co-writes with Ronnie Wood, Waddy Wachtel, Freddy 'BOOM BOOM' Cannon, Greg Ladanyi, Steve Farris and Kevin Bowe...

Hope to see you at our shows!
