   About Bobby Doran
--- 4TH OF JULY BLOCK PARTY ON 16TH STREET / DENVER --- SKYLARK LOUNGE / DENVER w/ Joel Tromburg & Kathryn Ostenberg -- VISIT MUSIC STORE - $0.75 MP3 DOWNLOADS -- CLICK TO VISIT BOBBY DORAN ON YOU TUBE -- BIO==From a modern, acoustic-driven, rock and roll vibe, to radio-friendly pop, and a jazzy guitar style, the young, Rhode Island born, singer/songwriter has been making a name for himself with a soulful voice, and a free, unique style, saturated with lyrical melodies that range from intimate to eerie. WMUSIC | DISCOGRAPHY The late months of 2007 into 2008 have been spent recording new studio material, including the songs "Believe", and "Santa Fe". Bobby has teamed up with William J. Smith, nationally known for producing tracks by Sheryl Crow, and Taylor Hicks, recording in Nashville's, Sound Emporium Studios, which has been recognized for past production of Bob Dylan, Garth Brooks, Waylon Jennings, Trisha Yearwood, and REM. A date has been set for Spring of 2008, for the new release, titled: "The Great Unknown E.P." featuring the new Nashville recordings, along with other studio tracks and unreleased material. The new release will be up soon in the 'Listening Booth" page, plus, album details, including track list, artwork, credits, lyrics, etc., available soon. Look for it on Itunes! Bobby Doran's debut, indie studio album, "Best Kept Secrets" (2003), proves to be a foundation for fan favorites, in "Secret", "95", "All She Wrote", "Everything I've Ever Wanted", "Wait for You". BKS is the first glimpse of his writing style s: a taste of jazz chords, leading to powerful choruses, rock-oriented guitar solos, tied together with catchy vocal-melody lines. Produced by Jeremy Carlson, formerly of Colorado Springs, CO, now residing in Knoxville, TN, and the help of Ben Kersey (Drums), the album showcases Bobby’s songwriting/arranging capabilities. “It’s was my first recording experience”, he explained, “I spent hours trapped in a hot closet, for the better part of the summer, laying down tracks. It was well worth it, and I’m proud of the way everything came out, for recording in a room, about the size of an elevator! I learned a lot from the experience” The album looks into more progressive, John Mayer/Dave Matthews-inspired guitar riffs, in "Sunrise", "Girl In A Black Dress", and "No Escape". The eleven-track album was inspired by Bobby's college experiences, touching subjects of love, angst, and pure anger, where nothing is taboo. Best Kept Secrets was soon followed up by a collection of live and unreleased tracks."Live & Acoustic: 2004-2005", introduces BKS-like tracks: "You're So Innocent", "The Long Day Is Over", "Cross Your Heart", "4th of July". Also, expanding his musical voice, and range of influences in the songs: "Second Time Around", "Lucky", "A Perfect Sky", "Can't Stop (It Feels So Right)", and "Waiting for the Sky To Fall". “Most of the tunes on the LA disc were recorded with one or two microphones, plugged into a CD burner. Though I think the quality is really lacking on a few tracks, it’s still one of the favorites. The tracks were mostly live cuts I had thrown together. On a dynamic level, I wanted it to be the complete opposite of my first collection of work, show more of my diversity, but remain true to where I want to go with my music. Hopefully, the possibilities remain endless, as far as the art of everything goes” Most original, abstract work, subject matter, and some of the best lyrics to date, "Live: In Syndication" (2006) was produced as a stripped, acoustic/electric conduit, for songs like: a fast and heavy, pumping acoustic-driven, "Punch-Drunk Love", "Line Up", "In the Eyes of A Hurricane", "Seventeen", the Beatles/Queen-influenced, "Clever Girl", "The Last Empty Page", "Winter Rain", an upbeat Lifehouse/Goo Goo Dolls/ Matchbox 20 sounding, "Believe", and "Boogeyman", a dark, cold, eerie, near-seven minute, down-tuned vision of lost hope, addictions, skeletons, and complete paranoia. “It was never my intention to put together so much ‘stripped’ material, it just seemed to be convenient to sit down and just do some live tracks, then lay the other parts down to add some color. Though it’s safe to say that about ninety-nine percent of the universe has never heard any of my music, but the people that do enjoy what I have to offer are extremely important to me, so I pay them back with playing my butt off, having new material, and keep the whole movement of things going strong, and full speed ahead. I just write so much music that I feel great about from a songwriting/listening perspective, it’s all stuff that I want to see, hear, and enjoy. I trust that my feelings about the music connect with the audience on some really weird level. I don’t think about it all that much; I’m just flattered that everything seems to have worked out, thus far anyway”.

Looking forward to July 4th, and I know Jason Vigil is looking forward to playing with you as well. I want to introduce you to a few folks that will be there.

Also, if you get the chance check out the Music Publishing Summit in Denver on August 3rd. It is being hosted by the publishing firm that I do A&R for. I think it would be useful to you. Derek Sivers from CD Baby is going to be a guest speaker as well. Check out www.MusicPublishingSummit.com

Word. Talk to you later.

Bobby Doran.... it's been too long since I've last seen you!

I found a CD you gave me a while back on my way to work this morning. It brought back such fond memories.

I hope you're doing well, I miss you! Maybe I will see you this summer since it looks like you're hanging out in CO!
