Bob’s Songs

I write simple songs driven by simple passions, with no elaborate metaphors. My songs are drawn from things I have lived, witnessed, or been part of in one way or another.

A number of bands in Austin, Texas, have performed my original songs, and I am a published BMI songwriter with two cuts recorded by Nashville artists. The songs presented here are demo recordings, shared in the hope of attracting interest from publishers or established performers.

As a former Texas legislator and longtime Austin resident, I spent years immersed in perhaps the strongest songwriting community anywhere in the world. During that time, I served on the board of the Austin Songwriters Group (ASG), further deepening my engagement with the craft and the community that sustains it.

Here are some of my songs. I hope you like them.
