Background / Bio

Texas based singer/ songwriter Bob Simpson create songs of life & love. If you had to put a label on him it would be "Americana". His songs are a melding of the old & new. Bob's songwriting influences are a crazy quilt of past and present greats: Hank, Townes and Dylan... Ryan Adams and Cory Brannan. Bob absorbs it all and looks to carry the torch to the next generation.


Born and raised in West Texas, Bob remembers when he was 2 years old and his dad played him a Merle Haggard album. That's all it took. He was hooked on classic country ... Wiliie Nelson, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Marty Robbins, George Jone, Conwat Twitty and Loretta Lynn, just to name a few. When Bob was 15, he read about Eric Clapton teaching himself to play guitar at 17 so(having no money to afford lessons) he taught himself to play guitar. Later on listening to James Iha's " Let It Come Down" and Ryan Adams writing with Whiskeytown, he was inspired to write.


We all have questions and doubts about life and love. Bob's songs give us an insightful look at the challanges and sacrifices of life.

I have just finished listening to this CD, and I couldn't get on here fast enough to praise Bob and his talent! Bob has such a soulful voice that after hearing one song, I was hooked. I can't wait to see what Bob has in store for the future, and I can't wait to see him perform these songs live!
