For Public Venues



We are an acoustic duet featuring 2 voices and 1 guitar. Our sets feature well known Americana songs, some instrumental picking originals, lots of harmonies and fairly elaborate arrangements. We cater to a wide array of audiences: coffee houses, festivals, supper clubs, outdoor events and private parties. We are not a dance band, at least not until Christine gets her one-man band rig finished.......

You will hear a wide array of ballads and livelier songs from Louis Armstrong to Pete Townshend, from Woody Guthrie to the Beatles. I adore the Grateful Dead, and if Christine had her way the Indigo Girls would be a trio. We love songs with lots of parts, so when we get to simpler tunes, we usually doll them up with some riffs, harmonies, stalls, and key changes to keep them moving along. I play exclusively with a flat pick, and always acoustic. I am largely self-taught, and can read music well enough to make paper airplanes. Christine, by contrast, is classically trained; her dad was literally the local school band guru….taught every grade and every instrument. If you are wondering how we get along, and if you find out, please tell us.

We do believe, in all sincerity, that music is meant to be shared, is experienced on a core plane, that it can create bonding and love on nearly any level imaginable, and that we are very fortunate to have found one another.

“Bobby and Christine” is a folk duet featuring two voices and one guitar. Our sets are pretty eclectic….lots of harmonies, some fairly serious picking and we do nearly all our own arrangements.

We play original as well as cover music, and we can learn tunes for gatherings as appropriate. We bring our own compact but very effective sound system and have flexible rates.

We can tailor our sets for your needs and can fill the bill fairly readily for everything from background music to a more “feature” performance. We play parties, coffee houses, bars, supper clubs, Farmer’s Markets, old folks homes, business gatherings and many other venues.
