Music

Well folks I’ve got a baker’s dozen songs in the can at The Woodshed in Toronto for my new album!!! 😍 I am blown away by the hard work, love and attention that these beautiful souls put into our sessions last week, Bazil Donovan, David Baxter, Michelle Josef and not pictured here, Burke Carroll, Jimmy Bowskill and Steve O’Connor – Thank you and graçias to these honky tonk heroes and heroine. Also big thanks and love to Tim Vesely, who is a studio-wizard and just GETS IT.
I have butterflies in my heart when I talk about sharing these tunes with y’all! Keep your ears to the sky and check back at bobbydove.com and my fb page facebook.com/bobbydovemusic for more news on the album and upcoming releases. I am so very excited and proud of this project. Love, Bobby D
