An artful and introspective 13-song rumination on life as we live it. These "Adult Alternative" songs are smart, but with a hook.
Bio / Background
He is an extraordinary talent with an ordinary name. Bob Smith is musician, producer, writer and innovator. He is a veteran of the 90’s college circuit and an 80’s DIY recording pioneer. He has performed around the country in a wide range of styles; from Rock to Country, Folk to Jazz. His band Shu has made a lasting impression on the experimental rock and jam scene of recent years. His group The Distractions has quietly left an indelible 20 year mark on the indie-rock community.
Bob’s new CD “The Reason for Swimming” is his third solo release. It is an artful and introspective 13-song rumination on life as we live it. The songs are smart, but with a hook. The disc is the definitive statement of his formidable songwriting, performance, and production skills. The multi-instrumentalist wrote, performed, and recorded every genre-bending note on the CD, the only exception being his faithful and humble cover of The Feelies’ “It’s Only Life.
