Bob Sima burst onto the singer-songwriter scene after taking hiatus from his band Stereopool, a highly successful acoustic power trio STEREOPOOL from the Annapolis, MD area. Stereopool has made a name for themselves in the local and regional scene for their brand of energetic, evocative acoustic power folk music. They shared the stage with NRBQ, Eddie from Ohio, Ari Hest and many local legends and landed a UK distribution deal with Smart Choice Music (Kathleen Edwards, John Prine, Lyle Lovett) and were featured on the Smart Choice Sampler which landed them in Maverick Magazine.In late 2006, Bob released his first solo release "POUR IT ON". Produced by David Weber (Krista Detor, Carrie Newcomer) and it features Krista Detor and Jason Wilbur (John Prine, Todd Snider, Iris Dement). The record took off quickly landing Bob CD OF THE YEAR AWARD by the WESTSIDE CAFÉ in Frederick, MD." Goosebumps, deep deep tracks, nothing short of spectacular"
Michael Sutton- MUSIC DISH"It's really rare that I receive a CD that I can honestly say doesn't have a weak track. With Bob Sima's "Pour it On," I can say that….the star of this production is Sima's voice. He's just got one of those perfectly accessible sets of pipes that will please everyone."
Christy Claxton- Editor- STAVE MAGAZINE"For anyone who wishes Van Morrison were still making rustic acoustic soul records like Tupelo Honey, Bob Sima's new release “Pour It On†is going to be the find of the year. Brimming with memorable melodies and beautiful mandolin, fiddle and dobro lines, these are timeless songs that sound like they could have been bursting out of back porch radios for the past 40 years. But they don't make you nostalgic so much as they make you look forward to what Sima will do next.
