I fell in love with the guitar at an early age. Mom has a picture of me when I was a kid playing air guitar with a broom. And although I love all kinds of music, I have to say my first love is the blues. I first heard the blues from the British guitar gods like Eric Clapton. I quickly discovered and fell in love with the American blues guitar players like BB King, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Duane Allman and of course Robert Johnson.

Bobby's Bio

I was born the son of a sailor and grew up around the world. Exposed to so many different cultures and styles of music in my formative years left me with a love of three things. Meeting new people, exploring new places, and music. I love music and as Louis Armstrong said, "There are two kinds of music; the good kind, and the bad kind. I love the good kind."

I am currently working on my next CD entitled "BBQ Blues" inspired by the aforementioned guitar players, and the BBQ of the Deep South. Some of my fondest memories of playing in the south were at BBQ's where the smell would drive you crazy. But they always made sure the band had plenty to eat! I swear I can smell that BBQ right now!
While I am busy eating (I mean working on) BBQ Blues, check out my last CD "The Open Sea." A collection of nautical-themed songs written on my Dobro tuned to Open C. You can find lyrics in the music tab @ www.poorboyrecords.com .
