The Seven Bends are Shenandoah Valley rock & roll band that plays a southern fried & tie dyed mix of rock, blues, funk, jam and traditional roots music.

Rob Cheatham is a singer/ songwriter from Charlottesville, VA and has had the privilege of playing in hard working bands for many years; such as, The Nice Jenkins, Gunchux, and The Borrowed Beams of Light. He was born and raised in Richmond, VA. In 2002 Rob's desire to write and produce music finally became a reality when he left RVA for Philadelphia. From there he moved to Charlottesville, where he co-founded the The Nice Jenkins, an indie pop band with cacophonous sound and energy. He quickly found himself entrenched in the Charlottesville music scene, where he remains an active and vocal leader. The music reflects the character of the places where he has lived and grown, and his heartfelt lyrics are powerful, and profound.
