Bobby Joyner

Blazing out of The Deep South, (Oxford & Jackson, MS.) Bobby Joyner headed West 11 years ago and he's had one hell of a ride to this point. His debut album, "Skies of Blue & Fields of Green" was released in 2006, produced by Dusty Wakeman (Dwight Yoakam / Lucinda Williams / Me'shell Dnegeocello). Featuring: Doug Pettibone of “Lucinda William's” band, Skip Edwards of "The Flying Burrito Brothers" & "The Byrds". Gia Ciambotti of “James Gang” & “Bruce Springsteen”, Susan Marshall, Lee Thornberg from "Tower of Power" and Tony Furtado are also gracing the album with there presence. He's jammed with the likes of Tom Petty, Dave Immergluck (Counting Crows), Gilby Clarke (Gun's & Rose's), Doan Perry (Jethro Tull), Tony Coleman (BB King), Steve Gorman & Marc Ford (The Black Crowes), Rivers Rutherford and Michelle Shocked & opened for Rodney Crowell! Flying his southern credentials high in the Los Angeles sky, Mississippi born Bobby Joyner has managed to beautifully blend bluesy rock with long lost, laid back Southern California's country soul. At times his songs could also be mistaken for the most inspiring Mussel Shoals work of the early 1970s. Joyner is a terrific songwriter, but it is his booming voice that has earned him the respect of southerners – and music fans – living in the West. Joyner's crowds can be a who's who of California country and at any show you might find yourself rubbing elbows with a number of well known artist. Bobby is also an integral part of the legendary underground L.A. outlaw country gathering “Sweethearts of the Rodeo” and "The Sin City Social Club" as well. He has played in front of thousand's of people over the last several years in venues ranging from his standard gigs at The Mint in Los Angeles, CA., Falcon in Hollywood, CA. & "The Malibu Inn" in Malibu, CA. to The Sundance Resort in Utah where he played for hundreds including Robert Redford and family. Up and down the West Coast and throughout the Southwest and Southeast people know his music and his name. Bobby has also written songs with Miles Zuniga of "Fastball", Tim Krekel of "The Jimmy Buffett Band" and well established Nashville writers Rivers Rutherford, Jim Collins and Tony Ramey. Two tracks from his debut album, "Skies of Blue & Fields of Green" & "Think Of Me" are currently being played in regular rotation on radio stations in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Mississippi, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Scotland, France, Belgium & The Netherlands. "Think Of Me" was also recently ranked in the top 20 songs on American Idol Underground's Big Country Charts and the single "Skies of Blue & Fields of Green" was placed on a "Sin City" compilation with Rosanne Cash, Steve Earle, Linda Ronstadt, Kris Kristofferson & Jesse Colter.
