Hailing from all corners of the US, BOBTOWN's four songwriters met in New York City's country music scene and deliver a distinctive brand of original Americana. They deftly incorporate elements of pop, rock, gospel and country into their original works, but the group is perhaps most widely known for their vocal arrangements and harmonies. They have released four acclaimed full-length CDs, most recently, "Chasing the Sun" in 2019. Bobtown has been featured on NPR's "All Songs Considered" and has appeared on the stages of The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge, The CT Folk Fest, and the Huntington Folk Festival, among others. John Platt of NYC's revered radio station, WFUV, named the group as a "top music discovery," and the international blog, Americana UK sums Bobtown up best, saying: "If you're looking for acoustic, Gothic-folk-Americana kissed with gorgeous harmonies then look no further."
