ABOUT BO ARMSTRONG

From the moment he picks up his guitar until the last note fades, Bo Armstrong is dedicated to forging a bond with his listeners. And he does ever so gracefully. A sincerity permeates not only through his honest lyricism but through his passion to hold nothing back. "I've learned through song-writing that all people are strikingly similar and there are more ties that bind us together than you might ever expect," he says.

Shaped by the world around him, Armstrong has that rare ability to transform everyday experiences into beautifully crafted song, universalizing those personal experiences that most people bury. He welcomes listeners with raw, soulful vocals reminiscent of Ray LaMontagne, grounded by impeccable, playful guitar rhythms. With hooks that tug at the listener, Armstrong is not afraid to embrace the pop aspects of his writing. But his songs run much deeper than that and what reveals itself under those catchy hooks is meaningful and textured.

A native Texan, Bo Armstrong instinctively picked up the guitar at 16. Realizing that he had a message and a desire to convey that message has led him to where he is now: evolving and maturing as a sophisticated, passionate songwriter. His intimate performances have amassed an ever increasing following from the prep school he attended in Connecticut to his college in central New York. He continues to play various New York City venues, including the Knitting Factory and The Bitter End. With the ability to be grounded and inspired by that which is around him, there is no doubt that Armstrong will blossom and remain a creative musical force.
