Grammy-nominated vocal acrobats (and certifiable nutjobs), the Bobs bring their new "Biographies", CD release to Rhythmix. Manhattan Transfer meets Monty Python Robin Williams meets Bobby McFerrin J.S. Bach meets Jimi Hendrix: that's THE BOBS. This original "band without instruments" has been skewering the classics, breaking all the rules and clear-cutting their own unique path in the world of vocal music for over 25 years, playing everywhere from Lincoln Center to Berlin's Passionkirche. To quote one reviewer, " the Bobs still shine, breaking new ground each time they tunnel out of the sanitorium. The twin keys to the group's creative safe deposit box are unflagging dedication to vocal excellence and utter disregard for everything else." In addition to other new songs, and more of their signature a cappella brilliance and general on-stage mayhem. The Bobs members are Matthew Bob Stull, Angie Bob Doctor, Dan Bob Schumacher and Richard Bob Greene.
