Hopefully, nothing but comic relief will pour down on the pre-soaked
mid-Atlantic next weekend: THE BOBS are returning to Virginia and
Pennsylvania for some midsummer night frolicking.

RHAPSODY IN BOB - THE BOBS' 13th CD
Order at http://cdbaby.com/cd/thebobs

The Bobs’ RHAPSODY IN BOB features a classic that truly rocks and
classic rock from the most creative group to vocally reinvent cover
tunes. Rhapsody in Blue premiered in New York in 1924 in a program
called “An Experiment in Modern Music” alongside pieces incorporating
barnyard calls and a tin can. George Gershwin originally called the
piece American Rhapsody because it was such a melting pot of varied
musical elements. So, what better group of artists to revisit this
auspicious beginning than The Bobs, with a killer combination of vocal
chops, Grammy-nominated arranging, and an inscrutable sense of humor
that makes them impossible to categorize? Tallest Bob Ever Dan
Schumacher (formerly of Kickshaw) debuts with The Bobs (replacing
tenor Joe Finetti) on brand new recordings of six cover tunes ranging
from Kurt Weill to Tom Petty to a new Bobs version of Cream’s White Room.

Here's a review of the CD:
