The Bobs....

are like a barbershop quartet gone completely INSANE! They are a cross between a phenomenal choral group and an improv comedy troupe, and are a must-see for anyone who likes their fancy tickled.

“Combining vocal mastery with irreverent humor, this quartet of musicians is, without doubt, at the top of the list of a cappella ensembles performing and recording in America today. If there is a single group that really helped jump start the a cappella movement -- as well as give new perception to the genre -- it's the Bobs. Using self-deprecating humor -- and with tongues planted firmly in cheeks -- the Bobs have been packing venues for more than two decades with programs that feature clever cover songs and a wealth of outrageous originals….witty fare… The Bobs are truly in a league of their own.” -Napa Valley Register

Sprung from the ashes of the Great San Francisco Singing Telegram Depression of 1981, The Bobs have blazed a unique, unparalleled trail in the flourishing world of vocal music. From an auspicious debut at an open mike in a Cuban restaurant in Berkeley to a Grammy nomination, The Bobs have always clear-cut their own musical freeway. Their thirteen album catalogue is chock full of impossibly creative, award-winning original material and their trademark deconstruction of familiar pieces from Bach to Hendrix.

In their 25+ year career, they’ve toured the world, performing in venues as diverse as New York’s Lincoln Center, Berlin’s Passionkirche and Billboard Live in Hollywood. Highlights of the group’s career include performing with Jason Alexander on the Emmy® Awards telecast, and providing musical commentary for National Public Radio’s Morning Edition.

A particularly notable avenue of statement for The Bobs has been collaboration with artists in other disciplines. Their first commission was a series of songs, "The Laundry Cycle," for the Oberlin Dance Collective in 1987. Later that year, they met the dance troupe Momix, (later known as ISO). Improvising with them yielded a show that toured fine arts venues worldwide over a period of years, resulting in a commission from Lincoln Center and a one-hour “Lonesome Pine Special” for PBS. The program is now part of the media archives at the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of American History. The Bobs were also featured in a tribute special on comedian Andy Kaufman for NBC, on PBS’ Great Performances in “The Beatles Songbook” and in a special with Harry Shearer for HBO. The group recently collaborated with The Flying Karamazov Brothers in “A Comedy of Eras” at Seattle’s A Contemporary Theater.

The Bobs, continue to add to their musical palette of possibilities as no other group. They are among the elite handful of totally original creators, who use just their voices and body percussion to fill a room with an orchestra of harmonious sound. They have left an indelible mark on vocal music, expertly skewering standards and establishing their own hilarious norm.
