“I am thrilled to be working with Rob Baird as he continues to hone his songwriting and take his genre bending message on the road,” said Cass “2013 should prove to be an exciting year for Rob, Carnival Music, and his newly expanded family here at APA Nashville.”

Baird will work with APA to continue riding the wave of success from his latest album, I Swear It’s The Truth. Produced by Scott Davis and recorded at Cedar Creek Recording Studio in Austin, Texas, I Swear It’s The Truth is a skillfully crafted collection of eleven songs, most of which were written or co-written by Baird, that rings emotionally true from beginning to end. The album has received much critical acclaim from the likes of Country Weekly, Billboard, No Depression, CMT.com, AOL The Boot, Lonestar Music Magazine, CMA Close Up, Music Row, Best in Texas, and the Dallas Morning News.
