Rob McLafferty

During the AIMS Summit Chicago 2026 session “Well-being: How I find fulfilment outside the hospital,” we were lucky to hear a live demonstration of the session’s theme from vascular surgeon Robert McLafferty, MD, MBA, FCAS, (@robmclafferty).

@NMCardioVasc What an honor to come speak about my music @NMCardioVasc ‼️ Great AIMS Summit 🙌🏻

You’re under my musical spell🌀  Wrote “Time Is Catching Us” about that moment when you realize time is precious 💛 and the noise starts to fade away... suddenly what’s real becomes crystal clear ✨ #songwriter #newsong #robmclaffertymusic #timeiscatchingus #nashvillewriters

I can save a life, but I can’t nail a take 😂 Here’s “A Long Road To Nowhere” - a beer drinkin’, bar singin’ tune I wrote a while back 🎸 Got to jam it with my buddy @marcpassman and, well... let’s just say the bloopers are pretty entertaining 🍺 Make it to end for one more blooper, y’all 🤪✨  #songwriter #bloopers #robmclaffertymusic #countrymusic #nashvillewriters

Songs I wish I’d written: “Is It Just Me” by @mikeposner, @jaketorrey, @stargate, and @bear ⭐ This one gets the falling-in-love feeling exactly right. That giddy, “bring them home to mom” energy…damn that’s good writing 🎵 Right on! #americanasongwriter #songsiwishihadwritten #robmclaffertymusic #lovesongs #musicpublishing

Let’s start the week off right‼️ Here’s a ‘lil snippet of “I’m Coming In” - a song I wrote about gettin’ back on track 😎🎸 #songwriter #mondaymotivation #robmclaffertymusic #mondayvibes #nashvillewriters

Part 2 of channeling @bobdylan 🎵  #americanasongwriter #folksongwriter #robmclaffertymusic #bobdylan #musicpublishing

Something a little jazzy that I wrote for the love of my life 🩷 “You Are My Why” - when all the who’s, what’s, where’s and how’s get overwhelming, there’s that one person who is your reason. Who is your why? Tag them below 👇✨  #americanasongwriter #lovesongs #robmclaffertymusic #songwriterslife #musicpublishing

Channeled my inner @bobdylan for this one 🎸 Lucy’s in the kitchen, shoes drinking bubbly... Sometimes you gotta get deep with the metaphor 🤘 #americanasongwriter #folksongwriter #robmclaffertymusic #bobdylan #musicpublishing

Songs I wish I’d written: “Burning Bridges” by @officialwyattflores & @colemiraclemusic 🔥 Young guys telling old truths - raw, honest, and hits you right where it hurts 🎸 #songwriter #songsiwishihadwritten #robmclaffertymusic #newamericana #nashvillesongwriter
