Robert Eustis:

“You’d think that someone’s already written a good song on every possible topic,

but New Orleans native Robert Eustis proves that isn’t

necessarily so.” — OffBeat Magazine, 2024

Robert Eustis grew up in New Orleans listening to R&B, much of it written

and produced by Allen Toussaint. College led him to Denver, where Texas

songwriters Steven Fromholz and Jerry Jeff Walker played regularly.

At his wife Karen’s suggestion, he started guitar lessons. At a guitar workshop

led by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jorma Kaukonen, Kaukonen said, “When

you play with other people, something magic happens.” The switch was

flipped. The next year, Eustis was in a band and was writing songs.

His first album “Flyin High” was produced by the late Spencer Bohren

(1950-2019). Sidemen included Harry Hardin on violin, Johnny Sansone on

harp, and Spencer’s son André on drums and piano. Spencer fast became

a friend, mentor, and role model.

Robert’s 2nd album (all originals except one cover) was released in the spring

of 2022. Produced by André Bohren, “The Tipping Point” was nominated for

an OffBeat Magazine Best of the Beat Award. Guest players included Aurora

Nealand on soprano sax and accordion, John Fohl on electric and acoustic

guitars, David Pomerleau on bass, and André on drums and piano.

Eustis plays guitar, mandolin, and sings with Father Ron and Friends. He

continues to perform solo, and in various collaborations and one-off projects.
