About Me

The Bon Hobos are two old friends who got together because of mutual love of music of all genres.DEN CHAPMAN is the musician, plays guitar (various shapes & sizes) mandolin banjo harmonicia & vocals.PHIL GREAVES is the songwriter, he sings & plays guitar.Our music is mainly acoustic and we aim for each song to have a memorable chorus.Our songs are about family,friends,experiences many of which are included here. We even have a modern day protest song SOLDIER BOY of which is getting good feedback.Our aim is for our songs to be used in film or television or taken to a different level by an established artist or a young band who are going places. The songs can be esily adapted to a more Rock style.
