Bob and Wendy: News

We are recording Wendy's new songs with Jill Knight at the controls. We have been fans of Jill and her music since moving to the central coast and love having a chance to work with her.

"Every once in a while, it happens. I’m wandering around somewhere and find myself in a Bob & Wendy show. The last time it happened was at Art After Dark, and every time it happens I’m reminded about how unbelievably good they are and how I, and I think much of SLO County, takes them for granted. The gorgeous acoustic arrangements, often made haunting by Bob’s cello, the yearning, potent sound of Wendy’s voice and her incredibly moving lyrics—this is a world-class act. This Sunday, April 26, Bob & Wendy will be in concert from 1 to 3 p.m. in Coalesce Bookstore’s Garden Chapel, playing songs from their excellent new CD Ghost of Guadalupe. The concert is free, but if you haven’t picked up this CD, bring some extra cash and do it. It’s their best work to date."

A friend set up Bob and Wendy Radio on the website last.fm. You can set up your own channel with music you love. Here is the link: http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/Bob%2Band%2BWendy/similarartists

Thanks to a recent upgrade by Host Baby, you will hear Bob and Wendy whenever you visit the website.

Hale Milgrim played Proving Ground from Ghost of Guadalupe on his very cool radio show on KTYD in Santa Barbara. Might have to listen every Sunday morning, from now on, for the rest of my life. Here is the link: http://inhalemusic.net/

Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

I’ve been listening to, and enjoying Bob & Wendy’s music for several years now. It seems each release is better than the last (and the first one was damn good).

They have a nice Alt Country/Americana style that I’ve come to love more and more over time. Wendy’s voice is in fine form and matches the music perfectly. It’s got a touch of smoke and so much emotion.

They have a gift for writing intricate and interesting melodies. It’s amazing to me that there are still new songs to be written since there are only 8 notes. So those who can write unique melodies are gods to me.

Another thing I greatly admire is being able to write intelligent lyrics (anyone can write pop-tart songs) and Bob & Wendy are masters here as well. I honestly don’t know why these two aren’t super famous.

Stand outs: Trace of Longing , Something Strong, Perfect Pitch but they’re all good.

Well, we have been told that this is our lucky day. More on that later... But yesterday we had to turn down the volume at the Shell Beach Farmer's Market gig. Someone complained and an official truck with a flashing amber light on top appeared and measured our sound level. Next thing we knew, the organizer asked us to face the speakers in a different direction and turn down. We did, but it was a Bob and Wendy first!

The new CD (album, download, whatever), Ghost of Guadalupe, will be out this summer. We didn't know we could rock out this hard, but producer David Radmacher did. No one called the Guadalupe cops when we had it turned up to eleven at the old Royal Theatre. Barry Goyette is in charge of the package.

We are wrapping up work on our new CD. The creative juices are flowing in the art department and plans for release concerts are under way. We miss our visits to Guadalupe to sing and play in the Royal Theatre. We might just have to put on a show there and invite everyone to enjoy the old theatre one more time.

We are building our new site and there are some nice features. In the Music section, the songs can be played on your computer, but not downloaded. You need to click on Buy to link to CD Baby for purchases. Individual songs are available on many popular music sites. Click on the highlighted song titles to read the lyrics while listening. The Calendar has links to venues for directions and other info. If you have Bob and Wendy photos, email them to us and they could end up in the Photo Gallery. Let us know how you like the site and feel free to make suggestions. Thanks to Caitrina Warren and Wyeth Stiles for the great work on our previous site. We had to change to a site that us musician types can maintain without having a computer science degree.

Our new project is under way at the Theatre Royal in Guadalupe, CA. Producer David Radmacher, brings new energy and elements to Wendy's songs.
