"Life experience" and judging from his
repertoire, he has had many. With over forty song titles including
Electrify Me, Honey, You Make It Happen, My Heart Belongs To You, Walk
The Walk, Wrong Side Of Love, Something About A Loser, Coming Home To
You, One Horse Town and So
Lonely, just to name a few, this new
aspiring artist is
quickly gaining recognition.
Bobby was exposed to a very diverse musical background
at an early age. "My stepfather loved Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby
Darin, Glen Miller and all the Broadway show tunes. My mother was a
country girl who loved George Jones, Glen Campbell, Patsy Cline, Loretta
Lynn and Ray Price and my friends and I listened to rock and roll".
Bobby was in the first grade when he got his first
guitar and amp. By the time he was sixteen, he was playing in a working
band. At 21, he began opening for national acts. "Most of the bands
that I played in were cover bands that played copy material. I had
co-written
several songs and performed them in several bands. I wanted to
go totally original but It just didn't happen until I started writing
for myself.
Growing up in Missouri in the outskirts of St. Louis,
Bobby spent the summers at his aunt & uncle's farm." At a very young
age, I learned to love the country life, and although I never considered
myself a country boy there was always a radio tuned to a local country
station. I guess that planted the seeds for the music I have been
writing lately." At the end of each summer Bobby would nearly have
to be dragged away back to the suburbs.
"After writing and playing in many bands it was
clear that I had come full circle. I had always heard be true to
yourself musically and you will be successful. Write about what you
know, what you have experienced out of life and share it and people will
relate."
All of Bobby's music is very family oriented and he
would not have it any other way. "Country music to me is
about being able to tell someone your feelings be it sadness or joy.
Telling someone you care about them or just to get
up there and tell everybody how blessed you have been.
Being able to just make a fool of yourself and have a good time".
" Its from the heart".
That's what Bobby's debut project titled Coming Home
To You! is about, feelings of the heart. Take a listen and we
think you will agree that this is someone that you can very much relate
to and enjoy over and over again.
