  • Bio

    Bobby Stewart's music incorporates a wide range of stylistic elements, and has been described by critics as "unique" and "original." Stewart began his career performing and recording with various groups around the New York City area. One of his bands - Bobby Stewart and The I.D.'s - developed a cult following playing at clubs such as the legendary CBGB and Max's Kansas City. When The I.D.'s disbanded he signed with Warner Bros. Records as a solo artist and released "Copyright On Love", which charted nationally. Other successful recordings include "Bottom Of The Drum" and "Dark Side Of Love" on S.O.S Records. Throughout his various projects Stewart has worked with an array of great musicians that includes members of The Psychedelic Furs, Buzzcocks, The Roches and others who have played with artists such as The B-52's, Joe Jackson, Sting, Robyn Hitchcock and Chaka Khan. Stewart was also one of the original participants in the "Loser's Lounge" - a highly acclaimed series of songwriter tributes that continues to be performed in venues around New York City. In 2001 Stewart was invited by the Woody Guthrie Foundation to create music for, and perform in concert, previously unrecorded lyrics written by Woody Guthrie, and in October of 2003 he released Volume One of a planned series of limited edition CD's entitled "Live In New Amsterdam" on Plan B Music. Other projects include a track entitled "Happy Holiday," recorded with his band The Contraires for the "Holiday Heart" benefit CD which was released in November of 2005. The CD also features tracks by Ron Sexsmith, Rick Derringer and Prof. Louie & The Crowmatix amongst others. 2008 finds Stewart in the role of Executive Producer for The Keith Reid Project's CD, "The Common Thread." The CD is a collection of songs that Keith has written outside of his work with Procol Harum ("A Whiter Shade Of Pale"). The CD features vocal performances by John Waite, Southside Johnny and Terry Reid amongst others. For more information about The Keith Reid Project, go to: http://www.rockville-music.com/ Contact: B.

    "Be STRONG.

    When you DON'T THINK you can,

    HOLD ON.”

    ~ James Frey

    Use Your ABILITY To Do Good Things Bobby!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ABILITY ...

    "ABILITY is what you're CAPABLE OF DOING.

    MOTIVATION determines WHAT YOU DO.

    ATTITUDE determines HOW WELL you do it."

     ~ Lou Holtz

    YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO CAN

    USE YOUR ABILITY.  YOUR GIFTS ARE UNIQUELY YOURS!

    USE THEM WISELY!

    Sending SATURDAY LOVE and LAUGHS Bobby!
     
    A Lawyer in a Mousetrap  - They Left $$Cash$$ as Bait

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT LAWYERS ...

    How do you get a lawyer down from a tree?  Easy - just cut the rope."

    "It was so cold last week that I saw a couple of lawyers with their hands in their OWN pockets."

    "How was copper wire invented?  Two lawyers got hold of a penny at the same time."

    "How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  How many can you afford?"

    "The two partners in a law firm were having lunch when suddenly one of them jumped up and said, "I have to go back to the office - I forgot to lock the safe!" The other partner replied, "What are you worried about? WE'RE BOTH HERE."

    "How does a lawyer go to sleep at night?  Easy - first he LIES on one side, then he LIES on the other."

    LAUGHTER IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Make Things That Matter your PRIORITY Bobby!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT  PRIORITIES ...

    "PRIORITIES - what's REALLY IMPORTANT -

    HEALTH, and doing what one WANTS TO DO -

    it's certainly not MONEY.

    RE-CONSIDER your PRIORITIES

    CHART your COURSE.

    SET SAIL with COURAGE."

    ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie

    Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange

    for it. Establish your PRIORITIES and GO TO WORK!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    MUSIC is LIFE Bobby!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MUSIC ...

    "MUSIC and the arts are not just something to make people

    FEEL GOOD. They ELEVATE THE SOUL and broaden the

    ENTIRE PERSONALITY ..."

    ~ Doc Severinsen

    OUR MUSIC COMES FROM OUR HEARTS ~

    AND IT ALWAYS HAS!  MUSIC FILLS THE INFINITE

    BETWEEN TWO SOULS!

    Hi Bobby!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GETTING EVEN ...

    "The man who seeks REVENGE digs TWO GRAVES.

    One for his ENEMY, and one for HIMSELF ".

    ~ Ken Kesey

    THERE IS NO REVENGE SO COMPLETE AS FORGIVENESS!

    Have a GREAT WEEKEND Bobby!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...

    "It is not the CRITIC who counts;
    not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
    or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

    The credit belongs to the man
    who is actually IN THE ARENA,
    whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
    who strives valiantly;
    who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
    who knows great enthusiasms,
    the great devotions;
    who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
    who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
    and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
    DARING GREATLY

    so that his place shall never be
    with those COLD TIMID SOULS
    WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."

    ~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States

    DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!  GET INTO THE GAME!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard
