BIO Ear-catching songs, blooming from a diversified range of musical roots, make up the intimate and intense canvas in which Bobby Doran spills his soul. His lyrical sensibilities, matched by his guitar, and unique sound, create refreshing, original music, saturated with truth, emotion, and strength.
Live, either with his full band, or solo, the Rhode Island born, singer / songwriter’s passion and soulful vocals, create a flavorful mixture for all audiences. This musical journey began when Bobby Doran was only thirteen years old, after taking up electric guitar and chugging away Metallica, Nirvana, and Beatles riffs. His learning curve led him to learn just about every piece of music that he could get his hands on. At eighteen, Bobby began writing, and quickly chose his path. after a handful of live performances, finding a niche for his songwriting and sound.
Residing in Denver, Colorado, and perfecting his craft as an acoustic act, Doran pleased crowds with live looping, made popular by Howie Day, Keller Williams and Tim Reynolds. Guitar riffs were recorded with the click of a guitar stomp-box pedal, layered with electric lead parts, basslines, drum beats and harmonies, all live and solo.
Bobby was recognized by the Pikes Peak Arts Association for a perfomer of the year nomination, has shared the stage with national acts, including Mason Jennings and Teitur. Bobby has also been fortunate enough to become involved in a 'Rescue On the Rocks' concert, featuring Blues Traveler, and Michael Franti & Spearhead, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Throughout his many performances, Bobby has been involved in numerous benefit / charity events with foundations including "Guitars for Life", "Kids Life Asia", "Katrina Relief" and "Rett Syndrome Research". In his travels, Bobby has ventured nationwide, promoting his music on the road, with great success in New York, Chicago, Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles and San Diego.
Bobby Doran recently recorded in Nashville, TN, teaming with William J. Smith, nationally known for producing tracks for Sheryl Crow, and Taylor Hicks.
