“Whether the wider world recognizes it or not, he ought to be considered an essential Americana master.”

About Me
Bio:
"I didn't mean to become a solo artist."
After years in bands touring across the U.S. and Europe, Bobbo Byrnes never planned on going it alone. But when a German label offered him a solo contract in 2016, a new chapter began—one that would take him from rock clubs to folk festivals and listening rooms around the world.
A road-tested troubadour, Bobbo has performed in most U.S. states and 15 countries, releasing eight band albums and twelve solo records over the past 25 years. His music lives somewhere between folk, Americana, country, and the punk-rock spirit that first inspired him.
Blending grit, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, he has built a loyal following through compelling songwriting and genuine connection with audiences. As the author of Too Many Miles: On the Road with a Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador, he brings the same storytelling instincts to the page that have earned him praise on stage.
Bobbo delivers memorable songs, engaging stories, and the perspective of a life spent chasing rock and roll.
New book: Too Many Miles: On the Road with an Unofficial Rock & Roll Goodwill Ambassador (2026)
New album: Too Many Miles (2026)
New instrumental album: Music for Train Stations; Vol 2 (2026)
The album Too Many Miles is the companion piece to the book. Songs that bridge the gap between the stories and miles.
Instrumental album, Music for Train Stations; Vol 2, was composed on a 1964 Steinway baby grand piano and is contemplative and wistful. Musically creating a dreamy background perfect for working, napping or daydreaming.
“Last time a Bobbo Byrnes album came my way I said I couldn't understand why he wasn't better known. Still can't! A lower-key acoustic outing this time, but still great tunes in a country-folk style: somewhere between Whiskeytown and Jason Isbell. SeaGreenNumber5 is a masterclass in songwriting.”
