Bob Lind Industry Endorsements

Here’s what concert promoters, booking managers and club owners say about Bob Lind’s appearances at their venues:

“As powerful an experience as I’ve ever seen a man alone with a guitar deliver in all my years owning the Luminaire! He got three encores and no one’s ever had more than one – and we have three bands a night, seven nights a week.”

-- John Donnelly, owner of the Luminaire in London, England. (June, 2007)

“From the moment he got onstage and started scat-singing, Bob Lind captured the audience at the Knockout. And he held them captive for nearly an hour with beautiful renditions of old hits as well as wonderful new material peppering his set with whimsical anecdotes and a tongue-in-cheek self-aggrandizing banter. Accompanied by nothing but his acoustic guitar, his voice seems to have gained maturity since the 60s. . . Before he was done, several members of the audience were choked up, myself included. If necessary, you should travel far and wide to see this man sing!”

-- Neil Martinson, promoter: Lind’s 2007 concert at the Knockout Room in San Francisco.

“A great show! There was a dedicated audience and he received a strong standing ovation.”

-- Lincoln Myerson, booking manager of McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica, CA. (on Lind’s 2007 concert)

“Bob Lind is the real thing -- a legend who can do legendary things on stage. . . . He cuts a commanding figure on stage and his wry wit and stories amuse the audiences. He puts the “entertainment” into The Entertainment Business. The list of his songs that have been recorded by other “greats” in the business is phenomenal. Other artists would be satisfied with only one or two remarkable tunes. Bob Lind has written dozens and he can sell every one of them.”

-- Bob Stane owner and manager of The Ice House and The Coffee Gallery Backstage (on Lind’s many appearances in the 60s and his most recent 2006-2007 concerts)

“I was so impressed. He has an amazing voice, strong and powerful.”

-- Patrick Cunningham, Director of Exeter Phoenix in Exeter, England. (June 2007)

“. . . . a great turnout. Bob held the (mostly young) audience rapt through a lengthy set. I was surprised to see a couple of celebrities amongst the crowd, namely Meg White of The White Stripes and off-beat comedian Neil Hamburger. They laughed at his jokes and really listened to the songs and their words. . . . For weeks afterward people were thanking me for putting on the gig, telling me how great a time they had and how impressed they were by Bob’s level of musicianship. It was refreshing for a lot of these folks to see real finger-picking for once.” 

-- Ian Marshall, promoter of Lind’s 2007 LITTLE PEDRO’S show in Los Angeles.

“An amazing performer and a delight to work with.”

-- Ron Colone, Producer of TALES FROM THE TAVERN concert series. (March, 2007)

“Bob is a tremendous performer. He is a phenomenal musician and singer. His performances are amazing. It’s beautiful to be able to have a legend with such history at my club. I am honored to feature such a great talent.”

-- Alexis Sanfield (2007) owner of Luna Star Café. (About Lind’s many appearances on her stage)

“His concert here was magnificent. He seems to put our hopes and dreams into his music. His melodies are beautiful and his lyrics touch us deeply. We want him back again and again.”

-- Dr. Barbara Lunde, director of Boca Raton Science of Mind Center. (regarding Lind’s 2007 concert)

"The show was everything I could have hoped for. He is an incredibly engaging performer. I'm so glad he's touring again. Looking forward to having him back here soon."

--Scott Cullen, President and Artistic Director of Concerts at the Crossing. (May, 2008)

"Bob Lind is a genuine poet, storyteller and performer.  His new songs are as achingly beautiful as his early ballads and his voice is unquestionably as strong and expressive as ever.  He'll break your heart one minute and make you laugh the next.  He is the real deal.  Please don't miss any chance to see him play - he may change your life"

-- Todd Bruder, Manager, HUGH'S ROOM in Toronto, Canada.
