"Wait's tools are the bittersweet melody, lyrical depth, and snappy, clean pop smarts... a CD that really shimmers from start to finish, hitting a perfect stride between classic power pop and commercially accessible music... Extremely Highly Recommended".
-notlame.com review of Robert Wait's "Dear Significant Other"

Welcome to the web home of Grammy Nominated songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, Robert Wait, and my previous alias, Tin Man Alley.  I've been working in music for many years now, and prior to that,  worked in the Film business.  In addition to writing, recording and producing countless songs and many TV and Film scores, I've recently worked with Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson and Promise Of The Real, Micah Nelson and Particle Kid, Karen O, Dr. John, Lulu Simon, and others.

In February 2025, I released my first song of the year, Shit Show, on all the streamers, plus videos on my Robert Wait Music YouTube channel, and short versions on Instagram and TikTok. 

I followed that with new audio and video singles, Write About and Get To Where You Are, before releasing a full new album, Star Blanket, Dirt Pillow, in June 2025.

More videos then followed for Stay Tonight, She's The Train (And I'm The Wreck), and Now I Sink, all from the new album.  I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed making them, and please go listen on my Albums page and follow on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, YouTube Music, or wherever you listen to music.

Please take a look around, and use the audio player at the
bottom of the page if you'd like music as you browse.

And if you have a chance, please CONTACT me.  I'd love to hear from you!
