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

About Me

Bio

After moving from Boston to Southern California, he founded one of Orange County’s leading Americana Rock bands, The Fallen Stars. He tours mostly solo now, blending rock and roll energy, country flavored instrumentation and folk inspired storytelling he’s a throwback to a bygone era of mix tapes and AM Gold. Bobbo read too much Kerouac as a youth and though he no longer hitchhikes he is still a vagabond at heart seeking to continue on his path - singing and strumming, learning and sharing stories, connecting with people and leaving a wake of happiness behind him.

New release: Self-Titled (2024)

Bobbo Byrnes' new self-titled album delves deep into themes of healing and redemption through the power of music. This latest offering showcases Bobbo's recording technique of double-tracked stereo guitars, creating a rich, expansive acoustic sound that stands out in today's music landscape.

With "Bobbo Byrnes," he not only revisits the musical styles that shaped him but also pushes the boundaries of his artistry, delivering a deeply personal and resonant collection of songs that affirm the enduring power of music to heal and uplift. Each track is a testament to persistence and self-belief, offering listeners an inspiring journey through struggles and triumphs.

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.”
