Bob Cheevers is an Emmy winning songwriter from Memphis. He's a Kerrville and Napa Valley Festival winner with six commercial CDs to his credit including two top 20 Americana chart CDs as well as the 8- CD collection called "The Bob Cheevers Archive Series" covering his writing over the last 25 years. Bob has spent the last 6 years touring relentlessly in Europe as well as doing house concerts and venues in the US. His favorite "accolade" is having been personally asked by Johnny Cash to join Cash on what would become Cash's final tour. Bob's songs include tales of romance, a personal look at the world through his own eyes and character studies of people who were caught up in the Civil War... rootsy, blues flavoured tales of the Mississippi Delta delivered in a conversational language of the heart. A master tune-smith, Bob is rounding out his 4th decade as a songwriting troubadour. About his songs he says, "I don't know if these stories are true, but they happened to me".

  --Gordon Stoker of "The Jordanaires"
  
• "Bob Cheevers has a Delta heart and acerbic tongue giving his music an honesty about the South rarely touched on by any other artist in the contemporary music scene." --Bill Ellis, The Memphis Commercial Appeal
  
• "Bob is a born storyteller. This man could put Shakespeare to shame. And that voice! Does he gargle gravel and honey for breakfast? Whatever, it works. Not only could Bob charm the birds from the trees, he could have them singing backing vocals for free if he wanted. We appreciate real talent in the North East- so we love Bob! -- Julia Hankin
  presenter, The Julia Hankin Show, BBC Radio Newcastle
  
• "Bob is as deep South as mockingbirds and magnolia blossoms...steeped in its
  history and mystery and adept at relating the journey and painting its complicated picture in simple pastel colours. He is the southern states in microcosm...an ambassador for its culture and traditions and the latest in a line of story-teller troubadours that stretch back to the beginning of time. He is a fully paid-up member of the second oldest profession on the planet...true to his vision and as real as it gets...he's wonderful as a musician a and person. Becoming a Cheevers Believer is a pollination process, and I would hate to think of him being in that box of broken jewel cases and dreams under the desk of every radio producer." -- Rob Ellen, Promoter/Radio Presenter, Medicine Music, Scottish Highlands
