It all started in the summer of 1982. Robert Matsudaira, (along with the help and encouragement of his brother Stephen) became inspired to hone his skills as a songwriter and start a band in order to perform his new material. Soon, the band was performing at many local Baltimore/Washington venues and receiving airplay on local radio stations and recordings were being sold at local record stores.

Almost 40 years later, Robert Matsudaira continues to write, record and perform new material, along with his large catalog of recordings, displaying various reconfigurations of his trademark band, RT.FLAIR.

Bob’s latest reconfiguration includes a name change. The band is now The Relics of Overhill Drive and starting in 2020, Bob and the band started rehearsals, writing new material and performing live. Beginning in 2021, the Relics released a live recording, “Relics Barely Live” and continue to write, record and perform live.

The band consists of:

Robert Matsudaira ~ Guitars, lead vocals
Stephen Toth ~ Drums and percussion
Charlie Phillips ~ Bass, backing vocals

Joining The Relics of Overhill Drive is local blues sensation The Lonesome Prospectors.
