Singer,
songwriter, guitarist Bob Grover has written more than 150 songs
spanning nearly three decades. His music transports you to the world
of country and blues with the nostalgic sound of the fifties mixed
in. Listening to Bob brings to mind the musical genius of such
artists as Bob Seger and B.B. King.
Bob Grover
performs his repertoire of original pieces with a rich husky voice
and upbeat mesmerizing tempo. He writes from the heart about love
and relationships, and he sings with an emotional flavor that is all
his own. His soulful and self-revealing lyrics will keep you
hungry for more.
Bob spent his
early years in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, an idyllic town nestled at
the juncture of Grand River and Spring Brook. He is still very much
attached to small town America, and that homespun flavor is rooted
in his compositions.
Right from the
start, Bob knew music was his calling. He would sing along with
tapes of Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, and Ricky Nelson and would be the
main attraction at family gatherings and neighborhood parties. He
performed often at his church, inspired by the high energy of gospel
music.
As a teen, Bob
started composing songs. In 1979, he joined a band called the
Mustangs, traveling the Great Lakes region and introducing new fans
to his brand of music. He also performed with songwriter, Johnny
Meeler (My Never Ending Love for You).
In his early
twenties, Bob moved to Vermont with his family. Always ambitious, he
formed a three piece band – Country Cadillacs – which grew to
include eight musicians. In time, he organized other bands – Reverse
Spin, Bob Grover Band, Bobby G & Soul.
His love for
music continued as he played throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, and
upper New York for fifteen years. Bob delighted thousands of guests
at clubs, bars, halls, and anywhere people would gather to hear good
music. For awhile, he was working six nights a week.
In 1993, Bob
wrote and produced his first album, Must Be Love, which sold
over 500 copies in less than two months. Encouraged by his success,
he recorded a second album, The Flame,
a collection of thirteen original songs.
Bob Grover now
calls upstate New York his home. He has just released The Flame
and is concentrating on his third album.
