In the ever-evolving landscape of modern music, few artists manage to redefine their genre boundaries while maintaining a core connection to their original sound. Robert Abernathy is one such artist whose recent foray into the world of music has not only captured the hearts of traditional country music lovers but has also piqued the interest of those inclined towards funk blues. With his latest album, “Somewhere Around 18,” achieving remarkable success and charting on the iTunes top Country music chart just a few months ago, Abernathy’s musical journey represents a bold exploration of thematic depth and stylistic breadth.
“Change My Mind,” Abernathy’s latest single, marks a significant departure from his previous work. Scheduled for release on May 17th across all digital platforms, this track delves into the realm of funk blues, drawing inspiration from legends like Delbert McClinton. It signifies an artist unafraid to venture beyond the confines of country music to explore deeper, more nuanced sonic landscapes. This song, as Abernathy himself notes, is not just another addition to his discography but a reflection of his commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Since late 2023, he has been meticulously experimenting with various layouts for “Change My Mind,” ensuring that each note and lyric resonates with both existing fans and new listeners alike.

As the lead singer for an Eagles Tribute Band—Eagle Sunrise—alongside performing with CCR (Clearwater Rising) and Alabama (Alabama Sunset), Abernathy showcases an impressive range that spans multiple genres and eras of American music. Furthermore, through shows with his own band (Robert Abernathy Band) and several solo and duo performances scheduled across the country, he brings his unique blend of sounds directly to his audience.
The anticipation surrounding “Change My Mind” speaks volumes about Abernathy’s growing influence within the industry. Fans eagerly await this new chapter in his musical career, intrigued by his ability to seamlessly integrate elements of funk blues into his predominantly country repertoire. This excitement is not unfounded, given Abernathy’s proven track record for delivering heartfelt performances and skillfully crafted songs.
Moreover, what sets Robert apart in today’s digital age is not just his musical talent but also how he connects with fans beyond traditional mediums. His album ‘Somewhere Around 18’, available on Spotify, opens up avenues for listeners around the globe to experience his evolving soundscapes, which can be found here.
