Robbie Truss
 
Robbie, Mark T.'s oldest son, shares Mark's passion for music. And although their tastes in music are somewhat different, their passion is equally matched. One of Robbie's earliest memories is of seeing The Outliers in their early days, playing at Classy Coffee, when the band - being the good sports that they are - agreed to perform the children's song "Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Firetruck", while Robbie danced around the coffee house. Robbie is in the 3rd grade.
