Bob Bradshaw is returning from the United States with his band for a homecoming show at Saint George’s Arts and Heritage Centre on Friday, May 27th.

Bob got his start in music playing with the Mitchelstown Druids in the early 1980s, and has been exploring many facets of Americana music in the thirty years he’s lived in the States. His inspiration comes from the Texas singer-songwriters whom he strives to emulate, to the roots-rock he plays in bar bands any night of the week in Boston.

He has lived in New York City and in San Francisco, where his rock band ‘Resident Aliens’ was successful in the 90’s. He graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 2009, having mostly played in bluegrass ensembles there. Praised as a writer of 'instant classics' by No Depression magazine, and as a 'master craftsman' by RnR Magazine, Bradshaw is presently working on his tenth album of original songs ‘The Art Of Feeling Blue’.

Joining Bob in Mitchelstown will be Andrew Stern on electric guitar, John Sheeran on Bass and Mike Connors on drums. More info at www.bobbradshaw.net
