Bob Cheevers Concert

Bob Cheevers is the real deal... aren't we lucky he's coming to Boise for the eclipse?! Join us at Cinder Wines and welcome this master songwriter to Boise! http://www.bobcheevers.com/

Long recognized by peers as being blessed with the acute vision of a master painter coupled with the precision attention to detail of a great novelist, Cheevers has written over 3,000 songs in his five decade career. Along the way he has rightfully earned the mantle of master songwriter as well as the respect of his many songwriting pals, including Texas icon Ray Wiley Hubbard, who recently said, Bob is one cool scarecrow gypsy poet who writes and sings the romantic beautiful truth. When he releases a record, I listen.

Also a cult favorite in the UK and Europe where he has toured for more than a decade, Cheevers continues to find inspiration in the life hes chosen in Texas as well as the rich Southern heritage that came from his growing up in Memphis. His rootsy, blues-flavored songs spin tales of life in a conversational language of the heart that rock the soul. They are intimate and expansive, poignant and bracing, tender and raucous, unflinchingly honest and redemptively healing. As he laughingly is known to say, I dont know if these stories are true, but they happened to me.

Bob's newest offering called Fifty Years comes in the form of a 5 disc boxed set with 83 songs covering his five decades of writing. He chose a couple songs from each of his ten commercial releases along with never heard before masters recorded over the five decades of his writing. Bob says this is his most ambitious project ever. It took over a year to choose the songs, sequence them by decades and recall all the players and singers on each track going back to the early 70s.
