Bob Amos

Equally at home as a vocalist, composer, and guitarist, Bob Amos works in the folk and bluegrass idioms and has also contributed tin-whistle parts to several of his recordings. His first collection, Wherever I Go, appeared in 1999 with support from banjo picker Ron Stewart, guitarist Glen Zankey, bassists Bob Dick and Marshall Wilborn, drummer David McLaughlin, and mandolinist Chris Thile.

Listeners encounter such standout tracks as “Say What You Mean,” “I Know Where You Live,” “Fields of Home,” “Baby’s Got the Blues,” and “Be Thou My Vision,” all marked by touches of country, blues feeling, and a rock-and-roll edge.

Over the previous decade he has crisscrossed the United States and Europe as the featured frontman of Front Range, the bluegrass and folk ensemble that issued multiple albums on the Sugar Hill Records imprint.
