Bob Snider
Singer-songwriter Bob Snider has played on the street and in the concert hall. He's been called a "national treasure", a "living legend" and "author of some of the best Canadian songs of the decade". After a hiatus from performing and recording, Bob Snider returns with a new album "Stealin' Home". Produced by David Baxter, the new CD contains 13 new songs that are quintessentially Bob. Songs that are direct, beautiful, sometimes quirky, sometimes funny but above all, songs that go straight to the heart.
In Bob's own words:
"The devil does not drag you kicking and screaming into hell. The devil makes you a deal. I don't believe in the devil. I'm just using it as a metaphor, OK? But nobody's forced. People make deals. They're talked into it. Everybody around them is nervous and worried about the future and security and all this stuff. So you get sucked into the machine. But I was never tempted. It just revolts me, the whole thing. I guess that's why I'm a folk singer."
Bob's songs have been covered by a who's who of Canadian musicians including Ashley MacIsaac, Meryn Cadell and the Leslie Spit Tree-O. His earlier recordings include two cassettes, "Live at the Free Times Cafe" and "You" and two CDs, "Caterwaul and Doggerel" and "Words and Pictures". "Poetreason", a Bob Snider tribute concert recording dating back to 1996, includes performances by the likes of The Barenaked Ladies, Change of Heart and Moxy Fruvous, to name a few.
Bob is an exceptional live performer with his warmth and wit putting just the right off-beat spin on his live shows.
