"in a perfect world bobby strange would be listed in the upper echelon of singer/songwriters known throughout the world...but instead, he is one of the jersey shore's best kept secrets. his latest ep, "halfway home", contains 5 songs well known to anyone who has been lucky enough to see him perform them live. but whereas live it is just him and an acoustic guitar, this album also contains some electric guitar and bass, keyboards, backing vocals, and drums. sometimes when a solo artist adds other instruments on an album it turns into a mess that loses the feeling of the live performance, but the people bobby brought into this project did perfect nuanced performances that really added to his singer/sonwriter style."
After spending the early part of his career playing guitar with a long-list of well known bar bands from New Jersey, upstate New York and Long Island, Strange has, in recent years, focused on his original solo career developing his talents as a singer songwriter with a more stripped-down sound -- just Bobby and his world-renowned autographed black Tak!
A six-time nominee for "best male solo artist" at the prestigious Asbury Park Music Awards, Strange has toured or shared the stage with such legendary performers as Bruce Springsteen, Lucinda Williams, Jakob Dylan, Willie Nile, Gary U.S. Bonds, Richie Havens, Dave Sharp (The Alarm), Sam and Dave, The Crystals and Southside Johnny, just to name a few. He has performed at all of New Jersey's top original venues including The Stone Pony, The Count Basie Theatre and The Saint, in addition to New York City's Lone Star Road House, The Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways, and his favorite venue, the Ed Sullivan theater, which is now home to the Letterman Show. In recent months, Bobby has also graced the stages of the historic Roxy, L.A., The House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, The Hardrock Cafe, Pittsburgh and the Astoria Theatre in London.
Strange's ever widening appeal has extended nationally to syndicated tv and radio. You may have heard Bobby's "You Better Think Again" off his latest ep, "Halfway Home", while watching legendary ABC TV daytime soap General Hospital. "Shut Up and Sing" has also been prominently featured on The Laura Ingraham Show reaching millions of listeners on hundreds of radio stations across the United States each day. You can also listen to Strange's latest singles "Without it Within" and "Jane" on WBJB 90.5 "The Night", the Jersey Shore's top radio station.
Among other credits are songs he contributed to the soundtrack of "Greetings From My Hometown", a highly-regarded documentary about the Jersey Shore and its music scene, produced by Hollywood based, award-winning movie producer, takahara "macky" makiura.
On the first of five tours of Great Britain in the past two years, Bobby's EP, "Reach Deeper" reached the coveted #1 spot on the well-respected Feenstra Play List for the month of June and in addition was named one of the ten best for year! "This man has the words to express what thousands feel," Feenstra said of Strange's song writing. "Bobby's songs go right to the core, with their raw gut honesty, and real feel."
