About Me

born at an early age, and quickly leaving a woman; bobby started what would be a productive life. After several years of unsucessfully trying to penetrate his local scene of oak island, northcarolina, usa,and failing as a professional snowboarder, he said "fuck it" and moved to ireland where he has had a little bit more luck getting people into it. Bobby started out on the streets playing for change, and quickly found out that there was more money in that than shitty dishwashing jobs, so he dedided to get good at that. some people rang the police, some people gave him shedloads of money. Moving cautiously back to stage, he released his demo to some pats on the back. "post office hotel" is a concept written over the winter/spring of 2004. in May 2005 he came back to ireland with the well recieved album "graveyard of ambition" in his pocket. it has now sold somewhere in the 100s thus making it a local gold record....who am i kidding...i should stop talking in the 3rd person...im not that egotistical!!!
