The latest news from www.bobbyyang.com:

October 2009

Passports aching from customs stamps and carry-ons stuffed with euro treats, Bobby rocked 4 weeks of shows in Europe with Kevin Costner. Airplanes and double-decker tour buses shuttled them through Romania, Monaco, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Switzerland. Most of the shows were sold-out, and the crowd energy was unbelievable. Bobby made a mid-tour day trip to Houston, Texas to perform at the Amschwand Sarcoma Cancer Foundation 2009 Catwalk For A Cure event chaired by Lauren Clark, Kristen Clark Nix and Sheridan Williams. Special thanks goes out to Sheridan and John Eddie, you're the best!

September 2009

Summer is over, but Bobby and his crew try to make it an endless one with a week off in Aspen and with a couple of extraordinary engagements in Napa Valley and Aspen. The beach is calling and Bobby is picking up, a special orchestral concert appearance in Vero Beach, Florida is slated for November 24th. Concerto-style meets surf-style, violin-style redefining rock-style.

August 2009

This just in: Collective Soul's newest album to be released later this month will feature Bobby on the track "Love." What can you expect? The usual Bobby touch: lush string arrangements and a catchy solo or two. Plenty to love.

July 2009

As some of you may know, the main stage at the Big Valley Jamboree in Canada collapsed this past Saturday, August 1st, as the result of a wind burst. Kevin Costner and Modern West were scheduled to play the main stage that evening, and we have received several emails asking if Bobby is okay. We thank you for your concern and want to let everyone know that Bobby is fine. He was napping on the tour bus when the stage collapsed. Although 2 of the Modern West team were injured, ultimately, everyone made it home. Our thoughts are with the families of those who were seriously injured and the one family who lost a loved one. The Jamboree date was the last stop for Modern West's July tour. Bobby is now focusing on finishing up his new album and getting ready to tour with his band this fall and winter.

June 2009

Las Vegas summers are known to be toasty, so with temperatures coasting over the century mark, Bobby decided to seek cooler grounds. As summer headed his way, Bobby jumped a plane to Toronto where he and Kevin Costner's Modern West taped a live performance for Country Music Television Canada. The show, called Live at Revival, most recently featured Sugarland. The Modern West episode won't air here in the US, but it should be up on cmt.ca sometime in the near future. We'll keep you posted. Following his adventures across the border, Bobby headed to 3 of his favorite mountain towns: Aspen, Boulder and Lake Tahoe. He rocked with his Unrivaled Players at the base of Aspen Mountain and then retreated outside of Boulder where the guys continue to work on their upcoming album of original music. In between the writing pow-wow in Boulder and a Lake Tahoe appearance, the band played a benefit for a non-profit organization supporting students' college dreams: Greenhouse Scholars. All in all a pretty cool month.

May 2009

One great art begets another, so you can be sure that Bobby and his Unrivaled Players were cranking inspired tunes at JC Pace III's exhibition at Artspace 111 in Fort Worth, TX. The exhibition opened on May 7th. Prior to heading to Fort Worth, the band gathered in Lyons, CO to continue work on their upcoming album of original music. Then, it was back on the bus with Modern West. The first five days were all bus and no hotel, which made Bobby a slightly smelly boy, but no one said art was rosy. Good thing he saw his mom at the band's first stop in New Jersey. The Norva in Norfolk, VA had some stylin' backstage digs complete with arcade games, hot tub and a basketball court. The tour made its way to Philadelphia, Cleveland and Detroit before wrapping things up with a NASCAR All-Star performance in Charlotte, NC. Which leads us back to the beginning... one great art begets another. (Yes, motor oil qualifies as art.)

April 2009

Who knew that Taiwanese pop stars have a passion for Elvis, Nat King Cole, Peter, Paul and Mary and Bobby? Apparently, sometime during the Vietnam War American music arrived on the shores of Taiwan and provided a new song book for Taiwanese pop singers. Two of the most famous, Martha Huang and Tony Yang, collaborated for a performance of their favorite hits in Los Angeles, and Tony, knowing a good Yang when he sees one, invited Bobby to join the show. It was all "Puff the Magic Dragon," "It's All Right Mama," and scorching Bobby solos. Bobby finished off the month hooking back up with his "Western" roots and fiddling his hairs off with Kevin Costner and Modern West at the Silver Legacy in Reno, Nevada, and at Coachella's country cousin Stagecoach, where he tried in vain to challenge Charlie Daniels to a Devil-inspired fiddle-off.

March 2009

Madness in March in Atlanta! Thanks to the over 400 Atlantans who made it out to Bobby's two sold-out shows at Eddie's Attic last weekend! Bobby had a blast on The Regular Guys Show on 100.5FM thanks to Tim, Larry, Eric and Steve. While in Atlanta, Bobby spoke at the American String Teachers Association National Conference and spent some quality time with the geniuses of Thomastik-Infeld (Bobby exclusively plays on Thomastik-Infeld strings) and with Mr. Darol Anger and his Republic of Strings. In the upcoming weeks, Bobby and the band will be writing original music for their summer record.

February 2009

February got off to a groundhog start as Bobby rocked with Blues Traveler's John Popper on February 5th at Antone's in Austin while on tour with Kevin Costner and Modern West. Bobby's Austin experience was accented with an in-studio performance with Costner at the KVET recording lounge thanks to the angels at the Universal Music Group (Karen and Teddy rock!) After two more shows in Dallas and Houston, Bobby will be headed back to Vegas to gear up for the homecoming rockshow at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta on March 21st. To purchase advance tickets and tables, click .:HERE:. See you in Atlanta, y'all!

January 2009

After touching down in Western Canada this afternoon, Bobby put on his knit hat to bear the minus 24 degrees celsius air and the frosty tarmac. Over the next three weeks, Bobby will be playing over a dozen shows with Kevin Costner and Modern West through Canada and the Midwestern United States, the Superbowl in Tampa, and down through Omaha, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Austin and Houston. Bobby loves your emails! Stay in touch and write often - stay warm!

December 2008

"Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman." -Ludwig Van Beethoven
Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players wish you safe and happy Holidays! See you at the homecoming show in Atlanta at Eddie's Attic on March 21st, 2009!

November 2008

With eyes on the weather and hands toting instrument cases, Bobby and the band (Daniel Luthjohn, Ben Holst, Brian McRae) navigate the start of the cold season through Colorado, Indiana and South Carolina with mini-tours in each state. The venues are packed with warm fans and new music is made as the improvised classic-rock-based jams jingle jangle yingle yangle.

Listen for Bobby on Kevin Costner and Modern West's new Universal Records release available in stores nationwide and online. The signature fiddle lines are unmistakeably Bobby's - especially those on "Superman 14" and "Long Hot Night." Thank you to all of the Yang fans who make efforts to experience the Costner shows with Bobby!

October 2008

Fall comes. The leaves change. Time goes backwards. Bobby moves to Vegas. While the rest of the country was taking leaf tours and adjusting clocks, Bobby headed to the city that truly never sleeps (sorry New York, but we see you napping on the subway.) No worries, though, because his relocation does not mean he won't be coming to see you soon. He still made time to take the Unrivaled Players to Houston to play two fashion shows at the Galleria. Thank you to all of the band's new friends at Billy Reid, the designer who dressed the guys for the shows. Bobby also made it back to Michigan to visit the northwest shores and subject the crew to more pasties. Too many more, and the band might have to become legitimate miners.

September 2008

The summer ends with shows in Denver, Toronto and Aspen and a cross-country journey from Atlanta to Las Vegas in a 40 foot hauler. Lower gas prices are good for road warriors. Bobby, Ben, Danny and Brian are gearing up for the Michigan tour...

August 2008

While kids were heading back to school, Bobby and the band headed back to Colorado spending every weekend and quite a few weekdays in the Rocky Mountain state. After appearing in Atlantic City with Kevin Costner and Modern West at the beginning of the month, Bobby and his Unrivaled Players began their Rocky Mountain residency in Aspen rocking the Eisner ranch. With the Colorado Rockies ingrained, the crew headed northwest to the Tetons in Jackson Hole, WY, and tested out the acoustics of Grand Teton National Park and had a special show at the 13th hole... Mountains and more mountains later, Bobby and the band returned to Denver for a healthy dose of politics and lots of playing at the Democratic National Convention. For August's grand finale, Bobby left the delegates chanting: "Rock, Bobby, Rock!" Now, doesn't that have a nice ring?

On August 31st, Bobby and the band took off for Minneapolis to support Big Head Todd and the Monsters at the Fine Line Cafe, thanks to Magnum Entertainment Group. Alaska's Governor wasn't there, but 700 Republican delegates, lobbyists and politicos sang along to Bobby's race-fuel rendition of "Hot For Teacher."

July 2008

Bobby would like to dedicate this month's news to the state of his youth, not metaphorically, but literally. Yes, Bobby walked the red carpet at the El Capitan in Hollywood this July, but red carpet can't compare to the sugar sand of the Wolverine State. So, here's to Michigan. If you aren't familiar with state mottos, then you probably wouldn't recognize Michigan's: "If you are seeking a pleasant peninsula, look around you." But, trust us, that is honestly the state's motto. It may seem odd, but this July Bobby revisited both the Upper and Lower Peninsula and realized that the state motto is just the simple truth. Bobby and his Unrivaled Players had a sold out show at the InsideOut Gallery in Traverse City, MI, where sunshine, hospitality and cherries are abundant. Unfortunately, he missed Michael Moore's film festival, including an appearance by Madonna, but thanks to the friendliness of Michiganders he enjoyed a day on Lake Michigan, a raucous performance and a growler of refreshing beverage. Pleasant indeed.

June 2008

Summertime, the New Kids on the Block's first single since 1994, might not have landed the boys back on top, but summertime for Bobby is on the up and up. Bobby closed out spring with a 3-day bang performing on the last day of May with Kevin Costner and Modern West in Eugene, Oregon to raise money for the Mighty Ducks new baseball team and then heading straight to Leadville, CO where the Unrivaled Players opened up the historic Tabor Opera House for the summer and then traveled to Glenwood Springs, CO for a sold out show at Colorado Mountain College. And, what is summertime without food, wine, beaches and big movies? Nothing. That is why Bobby and his Unrivaled Players performed at Aspen's Food and Wine Festival and hit Newport, RI for a East Coast beach break. This is also why Bobby has been busy touring from Toronto to Chicago's House of Blues with Kevin Costner promoting his (Bobby's) upcoming movie debut "Swing Vote" (in theaters August 1st). In the midst of his busy summer schedule, Bobby made time for his home town, Atlanta, GA, with a sold-out double show at Eddie's Attic on June 20th. The show was the debut of "Her Majesty's Three," a program that Bobby is developing into a symphonic pops show (think Cirque du Soleil... Love meets Trans-Siberian Orchestra with a Bobby on the top). Phew. Sorry New Kids on the Block, but Bobby is having the best summer ever.

May 2008

It doesn't get much better than summertime in the Rockies. Warm. Green. Bugless. That's where Bobby and the band will be spending a lot of time over the next few months. Don't miss the first two mountain-town shows: May 31st in Leadville, Colorado, and June 5th in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The only thing that we think may be equally good is Bobby's upcoming double show at Eddie's Attic on June 20th in Atlanta. Bobby and the band will premiere their new themed show: "Her Majesty's Three." What is it? To find out, get your June 20th tickets now at www.eddiesattic.com. Oh, and don't forget your flights for the two Colorado shows at www.frontierairlines.com. You deserve a vacation.

April 2008

Just announced, Bobby and the boys will play in Houston, TX, at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar (1031 E 24th St) at 10:00PM on Friday, May 2nd. And, southeastern fans unite as Bobby brings his sound to the outdoor stage of Sandy Springs, Georgia's Entertainment Lawn (6075 Sandy Springs Circle NE) at 6:00PM on Wednesday, April 23rd.

The last two weeks have been a stretch for Bobby's road legs, with stops in New York, Georgia, South Carolina, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver and Beaver Creek, Colorado!

March 2008

Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players landed in New York City in mid-March for three engagements: a one-night-only rockshow at Sullivan Hall (214 Sullivan St) in the West Village, a master class presentation for the orchestral students of Lawrence High School, and a private concert in the grand belly of NYC's Gotham Hall.

A big titanium thank you goes out to Connolly and Co. and Thomastik-Infeld for sponsoring Bobby's industry showcase and educational session at the 2008 American String Teachers Association National Conference. Emphasizing the importance of practice and passion was the basis of Bobby's presentation, and the band performed several songs throughout the session - showing string teachers and attendees from around the world how the acoustic wooden violin is the ideal instrument for everything rock.

Cradled in the shadows of a T-Rex skeleton and the warm glow of yellow uplights, Bobby and the band performed in the Houston Museum of Natural Science for the HMNS's annual gala on March 1st.

February 2008

First of all, go to the store and get the new logo tee. It is a must have for all fans. Now on to the news... With Dale Chihuly's "Confetti" Chandelier dangling over their heads, Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players helped the young art patrons of the Wichita Art Museum rock out at their 2nd annual benefit for the museum. While the crowd sipped the theme-colored "blu" martinis, Bobby led the Unrivaled Players through some toe-tapping dance jams that are increasingly becoming a part of the Yang set.

Inspired by some dance fever, Bobby purchased a new synthesizer and a looping pedal before celebrating the Chinese New Year with a concert in Telluride, Colorado, at the thriving new restaurant come concert venue Las Montanas. Finishing up the mountain town tour, the boys headed over to Park City, Utah, for two sold-out nights at The Spur, where they serve mighty good food and have a mighty good staff. (Nicole rocks!) Bobby will spend the last couple of days this month talking to the teachers at the American String Teachers Association National Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He plans to tell them to stop asking him for all his secrets and to put the strap-on violins back in the closet. Hopefully, that goes well. We'll keep you posted!

January 2008

A big Yang thank you to the 440 fans who attended the sold-out Eddie's Attic double show on January 12th! Bobby and the band had a blast. Thanks to Leslie, Jenners and Mark of 99X for their help in promoting the shows. A NEW T-SHIRT will be available for purchase at the BobbyYang.com STORE starting January 14th. Wear it well.

December 2007

Bobby was on the road again in November with the Costner team. Although Hurricane Noel tried hard to keep Modern West away from the Bahamas, the band finally arrived via private plane from Miami and put on a show for the Atlantis guests. Bobby fell in love with Bobby Flay's pork tenderloin at Mesa Grill and had some good times pool side at The Cove. A-Rod was hanging out pool side as well, and Bobby collected some hitting karma before heading to Tampa Bay for a performance for the newly christened "Rays". (That's right. Drop the "Devil".) Modern West performed an outdoor show celebrating the new name and the release of the new jersey, which Bobby got to don at batting practice with the team at Tropicana Field. Bobby won't put down his fiddle for a bat anytime soon, but he made some line drives.

November 2007

Bobby finished up his season with a series of performances in the low country. The Unrivaled Players rocked out at a low country boil with celebrity chef Tyler Florence at The Inn at Palmetto Bluff. (The Inn has the best tree house ever.) As the month came to an end, Bobby decided to take some time off, but he will kick off the new year with a New Year's Eve performance in Chattanooga.

October 2007

Fresh from a performance at the one and only Palmilla on the southernmost tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players are hot on the rock mariachi trail this month with in-school master classes, a couple of Georgia shows and a few long-distance band excursions to Cincinnati, Dallas and Los Angeles. Bobby has also been serving it up el diablo with Kevin Costner and Modern West as Kevin's band has shows in Kansas City, Rome (Italy), Istanbul (Turkey), Tampa and the Bahamas over the next three weeks.

This just in! Thanks to Thomastik-Infeld of Austria, Bobby will give a keynote presentation and live performance at the 2008 American String Teachers Association National Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bobby is proudly endorsed by Thomastik-Infeld of Austria, maker of Bobby's violin strings of choice: Thomastik-Infeld Vision Titanium.

September 2007

A hearty thank you to the over 950 fans of all ages who attended the two shows in Swainsboro, GA this week. Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players (Mark Cobb, Ben Holst, Franher Joseph, and special guest Takana Miyamoto) had a blast performing at East Georgia College. Thanks to all of the members of The Atlanta Pops Orchestra for their enthusiastic performance of Bobby's arrangements! The guys had a blast at The Pub in Albany on Sept 15th and at the Atlanta Arts Festival at Piedmont Park on Sept 16th.

August 2007

Bobby and his band head West again this week through Colorado and Utah for some really cool club shows, followed by a tour through Virginia and Georgia. The next month is gonna be a crazy one! See you on the road!

After a 5200-mile show tour from Georgia to Michigan to Colorado, Bobby and his Unrivaled Players came home to two sold out shows at Eddie's Attic on August 3rd. The Eddie's shows were milestones in rock history as both shows were wholly improvised, without setlists or intermissions, and performed on wooden instruments. Thanks to the 403 fans who came out to share the experience with us! Thank you to Tim, Leslie, Sean and Jenners of 99X's The New Morning X for having Bobby on their show last week.

On August 5th, Bobby joined Kevin Costner and Modern West for a show at The Sunshine Theatre in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Keep an eye on the CALENDAR for more Modern West shows (August 9th in California is the next one) and for movie release dates of Kevin Costner movies featuring Bobby Yang!

July 2007

July is the hottest month of the year, and Bobby is taking cues from the weather man, as his performances promise to only get hotter in July. Bobby kicked off the month by celebrating July 4th with Kevin Costner in Aspen. To pay tribute to America, Bobby hit a homer on Costner's private baseball field and ate Hickory House BBQ. The festivities were a warm up for a performance with Kevin Costner on 7/7/07 in Lake Tahoe at Harrah's Casino.

Hot sets continued on July 12th at the Melting Point in Athens as Bobby and his Unrivaled Players fused rock and roll with super jam band acrobatics. Thanks to the Athens Banner-Herald for the cool write-up; read it .:HERE:.

February 2007

A gargantuan snowbank of thanks goes out to the hundreds of raging Aspen fans who barnstormed the ZG Grill at Aspen Highlands for Bobby's final Ski-Town Tour show on Sunday, February 18th! Bobby, Mark Cobb, Nick Niespodziani and Peter Olson played a chilled-Tuaca-charged five-and-a-half-hour set under the afternoon sun while overlooking the two feet of fresh snow that fell over the weekend. Thanks to Torre and Sari at Plum TV for their help in promoting the show as Bobby and the boys performed "The Physics Of Giving" and "War Pigs" on live TV at the breakfast hour.

The ski-town tour kicked off successfully as Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players rocked a sold-out crowd of over 400 at the Wichita Art Museum on the way out West. Fans from Vail and Beaver Creek descended onto the Feb 8th show thanks to Ted Alvarez's 1000-word feature on Bobby in the Vail Daily News. Click .:HERE:. to read it. Denver mile-highers discovered new heights on Feb 9th as Bobby and his band joined forces with Atlanta's Y O U for a knockout violin-led encore set including "War Pigs," "Kashmir," and "Freebird."

January 2007

Ludwig Van Beethoven once said that music should strike fire from the heart of a man, and bring tears from the eyes of a woman. Accompanied by the Atlanta Pops Orchestra, Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players struck fire, brought tears and rocked their hearts out last night in front of 446 adoring fans at the Theatre Dublin in Dublin, Georgia. "I was completely blown away. Bobby and his band can eat the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for lunch," said a local Arts Council patron.

The show was a giant leap for acoustic violinists worldwide. "You couldn't bribe me with a million bucks to perform on an electric violin. Violin students need to realize there is SO much more rock potential using the wooden instruments they already own. You're shooting yourself in the foot if you fall for the electric violin scam. Don't do it. Yang it instead," says Bobby. Catch the next string of YANG IT! shows including the February ski-town tour and the March 10th double-show at Eddie's Attic!

December 2006

Couped up in a western Colorado retreat, Bobby has been arranging and scoring orchestra parts for his January 13th debut with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra.

Bobby and Takana (Creative Loafing's Best Instrumentalist and Best Jazz Act of 2006, respectively) will play as a duo for the first time as well. Need we say more?

Check out this month's issue of Aspen Peak Magazine which features five photos of Bobby in various states of performing and hanging out with Kevin Costner, EKS Events' Elizabeth Slossberg, guitarist Teddy Morgan and crew.

November 2006

We are SO PROUD of our fans! A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to the 355 Yang fans who hollered, screamed, laughed and cried at Bobby's sold-out CD release shows at Eddie's Attic on Friday night. It was a stunning YANG IT! Live at Eddie's Attic release. Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players (Mark Cobb, Rob Henson, Tak Nakazawa) improvised two 13-song sets of quintessential rock, including blistering renditions of Eruption, Welcome to the Jungle, Hot For Teacher, War Pigs, and their signature Kashmir. Misti and the crew at BobbyYang.com thank FOX 5 Television, Clear Channel's 96Rock, and WABE National Public Radio for their help in promoting the shows.

Watch and listen to Bobby on TV (FOX 5 Atlanta) and radio (96Rock and WABE National Public Radio) this month as he promotes his new YANG IT! Live at Eddie's Attic CD!

September 2006

Bobby might not agree with the food critics over at Creative Loafing. (He's never been a fan of the yellowy canned mushrooms at the Loaf's 'Best Breakfast' pick the Silver Skillet.) But, he can't say much bad about the music fiends as they chose him as 2006's Best Instrumentalist admiring his ability to spew Led Zeppelin and Paganini while balancing a bar glass on his head (or something like that.) Three cheers for Creative Loafing for having good taste in music, but if you are looking for breakfast in Atlanta Bobby votes for Ria's Bluebird.
