Lead singer, Robert "Tiny" Heath was born and raised the small town of Pawhuska, Oklahoma in 1978. He grew up listening to his dad play drums in a band and acquired an intense interest in music. He was an accomplished drummer himself through high school and college, and began his songwriting career while playing with several local bands. He came to Dallas as a truck driver for a company that moves the US mail. His music career took off when he moved out from behind the drums and became the lead singer for Southbound Texas 35. He has an incredible bluesy-country-rock voice and sings with tremendous range and feeling. His original songs echo both his Oklahoma roots and his current Texas home.
