Robert Linton is an Accomplished Musician in Cache Valley. Growing up, Robert was always surrounded by music of different sorts. Before Robert's birth in October, 1981, his grandfather was a well known pianist/organist in the Logan, Utah music scene. Robert's father grew up playing the saxophone in front of large crowds with his band mates. Robert would always pound the keys on the piano while his older sister would play complicated piano pieces, in which soon after it would be his turn to practice. Robert liked to listen while his father would play a mean slide guitar. Music from the guitar would include impromptu pieces and famous songs from classic rock artists such as Led Zeppelin, Cat Stevens, and Simon and Garfunkel. Robert grew up listening to these bands and learning any song he could by ear. The list of songs he could play grew as he took his first guitar lessons in 1993. Starting with simple pieces, Robert studied the licks of incredible guitarists such as Jimmy Page and Jimi
