Having listened to Robbie Tucker and The Dangerous Crayons I was really impressed on the originality and lyrical content of the songs. Robbie Tucker is an inspiration in his cause and determination to fight and raise awareness for Parkinson's Disease tune in and listen!
As a child, my dad and I would always jam on old Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Steve Earle songs. Into my teen years, I grew into Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison & Paul McCartney. I've always had an interest in how vocal range and power it can add to a song (i.e. Crying; Roy Orbison, Hurt; 70's Elvis). I've always had a fascination with the structure of Roy Orbison tunes and that continues to inspire me when I'm writing. "
In 2003, Robbie released his first album, The Ledden Street Sessions; following it up with 2006’s 24 track album, Songs From Apt#12, and 2007’s, GreenRoom.

In 2007, Robbie returned to the stage following a two year hiatus; the result of a 2005 Parkinson's disease diagnosis. The unusual neurological disorder had rendered him incapable of performing on stage; but working with his medical team, Robbie, never gave up and continued to practice, sing, write and rehearse. It is this level of commitment that has allowed him to continually achieve his goals.
February 22nd, 2008, brought about a new chapter in Robbie’s career, as, while performing a with his new band, The Dangerous Crayons, he announced the founding of MAPMusic (((Musicians Against Parkinson's))), his new non-profit organization, which aims to educate and raise awareness as to the nature of Parkinson’s.
