Considering the recent political climate, hearing the word “Americana” might turn some people’s heads away to create strong unpleasant emotions. But, unlike our current commander-in-chief, there are those who keep American roots and traditions alive with tact and grace. One of these people is veteran Nashville songwriter Bobby Bare Jr. With a humble approach to creating and sharing his music, the now 50-year-old singer/songwriter delivers art through his sweet crooning voice that captures the heart and soul of Americana. His father, famous country musician Bobby Bare Sr., passed his intense passion for outstanding lyricism and fantastic storytelling to Jr. Today, we need a Southern gentleman like Bobby Bare Jr. to reflect true American values in showmanship and art more than ever.
