BIOGRAPHY

Bobby is a musician with a rare perspective on life, love and the human spirit. His music is the product of 11 years travelling the world with the U.S. Air Force where he learned that compassion and truth are the hallmarks of a great person and not determination and ambition which are so prevelent in the music business today. His songs reflect his desire to share his passion rather than sell it and he displays that deep need in each and every performance. Playing over 90 shows a year this Singer Songwriter will have you reflecting on your idea of your fellow man and leave you with a desire to give something better to the world in which you live. Simply put; Bobby is in the business of sharing real music with real people and would love to share with you."
