Hailing from NYC, BOBTOWN delivers a distinctive brand of original folk/Americana that incorporates elements of pop, gospel and country, but the group is perhaps most widely known for their unique vocal arrangements and harmonies. The band has released three acclaimed full-length CDs and will release their fourth in July 2019. They have been featured on NPR's "All Songs Considered" and are folk festival regulars, having appeared on the stages of The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge, The CT Folk Fest, the Huntington Folk Festival and more. John Platt of NYC's revered radio station, WFUV, named the group as a top music discovery, and the international blog, Americana UK sums Bobtown up best, saying: "If you're looking for acoustic, Gothic-folk-Americana kissed with gorgeous harmonies then look no further."
