Read the incredible Saving Country Music review of my album, Hopeless Romantic. Thank you Trigger!

HOWDY! I’m doing a couple of live-streamed performances as part of the Folk Alliance International Folk Unlocked Virtual Conference! Usually, this in-person event is only available to artists and industry professionals, but this year you can join in! I’ll be crooning tunes from my just released album, Hopeless Romantic. 🌹 LINK: https://folk.org/ My schedule is: Wednesday February 24 8:30-9:30pm (central time) and Thursday February 25 as part of the @whoopandhollar Spirit of Manitoba Showcase, 9:15-9:30pm (central time) SEE YOU THERE!

TODAY February 12, 2021 is the digital release of my new album Hopeless Romantic !!! 11 new original songs available to purchase on bandcamp + all the major streaming services including SPOTIFY. Please visit my indiegogo page to support my merch pre-order/fundraiser! You can watch the animated lyric-video for the title track, by Gregory Pepper HERE 🙂 Thank you for subscribing to my Youtube channel!

Thank you so much to the band who played on this record: David Baxter, Jimmy Bowskill, Burke Carroll, Bazil Donovan, Michelle Josef, Steve O’Connor. And thank you to Jim Cuddy and Jenny Whiteley for the beautiful backing vocals – It’s a true honour to make music with such amazing musicians and artists. Thanks to my co-producers: Bazil for your unwavering honesty, and Tim, for your everlasting patience.

Thank you to the creative minds who worked with me on the branding of this record, with design by Brittany Brooks and photography by Jen Baron. Les DeuxLuxes and Little Underground (Coburg) made sure I was stocked up with cool vintage clothes, and I want to thank Vince Tinguely for the groovy belt he gifted me years ago, that I am wearing on the album cover!

Special thanks to Jim Bryson, Lyle Elder, Aaron Goldstein, Aaron Knight, Matt Large, Lynn Miles, Guillaume Parisien, Jordi Rosen and Eric Sandmark for their council. Thanks to Howard Bilerman and my Banfettes at the Banff Centre for inviting me into a safe space, where I created some of these songs.

I would also like to thank FACTOR Canada and the Canada Council for the Arts, for their support.

I hope you enjoy this music and I am looking forward to sharing more news with you in the very near future!

Your Hopeless Romantic,

Bobby Dove

Very excited to be playing ROTR again, an amazing festival in Bellows Falls, Vermont! It’s a great roster this year, all virtual! Sunday July 5th at 2pm ET, I’ll be playing songs old and new, live-streamed from the red barn where I’m perched in rural Manitoba! You can tune in on my facebook page or on the Roots on The River fb page =) Hope you’re staying safe out there! Love, Bobby

Wanted to let you folks know that I am hunkering down and playing some live-streamed festivals and performances over the next few weeks!

Some upcoming shows and tours may be cancelled due to the pandemic, but I hope we can all take care of each other by staying home and safe!

Lots of love. Xo
