Bad Reputation by Bobby Doran

A powerful blend of studio, live, and stripped, acoustic tracks, featuring the latest studio, single: “Bad Reputation”, that will certainly get your body movin’! Follow the many twists and turns of this storyteller’s imagination, honesty, and guitar work.

Bobby’s live show is a must-see! Aside from pouring his soul out through his guitar playing and vocals for original tunes, he is known for his live, guitar looping. With one guitar and some fancy footwork, you go from hearing one guitar part, to two, then three, you suddenly hear bass guitar, and even drum beats and soloing. The audience is captured by watching the layering of guitar parts into full songs. No pre-recorded tracks, all done on the fly.

Bobby has traveled nationwide, promoting his music from New York to Los Angeles, from colleges, clubs, coffeehouses, benefits, and even house parties. He was recognized by the Pikes Peak Arts Association for a perfomer of the year nomination, has shared the stage with national acts, including Mason Jennings and Teitur. Bobby has also been fortunate enough to become involved in a ‘Rescue On the Rocks’ concert, featuring Blues Traveler, and Michael Franti & Spearhead, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Other benefit & charity events include “Cancer Research”, “National Kidney Foundation”, “Guitars for Life”, “Kids Life Asia”, “Katrina Relief” and “Rett Syndrome Research”.
