Rob Morsberger

Robert E. "Rob" Morsberger (August 9, 1959 – June 2, 2013) was an American singer-songwriter and classically trained composer.

As a sideman/arranger, his credits include Patti Smith, the Grammy-winning Boardwalk Empire soundtrack album, My Morning Jacket, Crash Test Dummies, Marshall Crenshaw, Willie Nile, Jules Shear, Loudon Wainwright III, and more.

Morsberger was born in Ohio, raised in Oxford, England and studied composition at the University of Edinburgh.

After he was diagnosed with brain cancer he concentrated solely on his own career, including the 2012 albums A Part of You and Midnight Garden, the latter being a collaboration with his friend Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies.

Prior to his death, he lived with his family in the Hudson Valley, just north of New York City.
