About Me

We're called The AcoustiBobs (2 men, 3 chords & 1 hi-hat) and we hail from the tiny haven of Mt. Pilot, Illinois which is somewhere between Batavia and Wilton Center. We bash out a sizzling combo of Rock-n-Roll Oldies, Classic Country, a few rather recent tunes and even a smattering of original songs like the ones on this page. DenBob plays left-handed guitar and DaveBob plays right-handed guitar---usually in the same song! Together, these two life-long "partners in chime" have logged over 25 years playing to the delight of dozens of people while raking in close to hundreds of dollars---ah, the music business---can't live without it, can't live on it. DenBob's renditions of Buddy Holly songs are not to be missed---and usually aren't... And when DaveBob croons a Roy Orbison song, the world is once again a wonderful place to drink. OK OK---time to be serious for one sentence: The AcoustiBobs love to involve the audience and have ample tamborines to satisfy those who like to join in the fun and provide percussive pleasure---a guaranteed funfest!!! See and hear for yourself why Aaron Tyres from the Mt. Pilot Gazzelle said, "The AcoustiBobs are more fun than traffic court!"Band Motto: "WE KNOW 3 OR 4 CHORDS AND WE CAN PLAY THEM IN A ROW"NOTE: Our demo was recorded at our life-long friend Kevin Wright's studio in New Lenox, IL called The "WOLVES DEN." It is a fabulous place to record and we highly recommend it for any artist and for any musical project you may have.
