“I don’t know if these stories are true...but they happened to me.” Bob Cheevers has earned a place in the Americana Music landscape after growing up in Memphis and getting a soul full of music not only from the icons of his youth such as Elvis and Johnny Cash but also from his mother, who was a radio star during the Great Depression performing with the Big Bands of that era. A hundred year old photo of his grandmother graces the cover of his “Gettysburg To Graceland” CD. From an early age, Bob’s creative feet were firmly planted in Mississippi Delta mud, and his songs began to feature characters whose lives reflected the life style along the rivers of the South over the past hundred years. The 2011 Texas Music Awards winner for “Singer/songwriter of the year”, Bob is also winner of an Emmy and the Kerrville and Napa Valley Music Festivals. Two of his 8 commercial CDs were Euro Americana top 10, and two were US Americana top 20. After 16 years in the Nashville music industry, Bob moved to Texas in 2009 and began to meet Austin’s A-list artists, musicians and producers including Stephen Doster who produced Bob’s 2010 “Tall Texas Tales” which saw the aforementioned Americana success. Doster says...“When you listen to Bob Cheevers, you'll be hearing a singer-songwriter at top of his game. Bob came to Texas, looked around and began to write about the things he saw. His observations about Texas made me wanna go there...and I’m from Texas. Not only is “Tall Texas Tales” a wonderful travelogue of my great state, it is full of songs that could only be written by a man whose life is rich with experience and deep insight. Bob Cheevers is an American classic...make no mistake about it!” The combination of Bob’s musical family background, his 60’s-70’s pop hits during his years in the LA music scene, his being asked by Johnny Cash to join Cash on what would be his final tour and most recently becoming a fixture in the Austin music scene has resulted in Bob fine tuning his musical voice and spinning his rootsy, blues-flavored tales of life in a conversational language of the heart.
