Bob Pigott

Bob Pigott Bio:

This Australian singer-songwriter’s rich vocals and gift for storytelling is a common bridge between country and folk. His original blend of smart, acoustic rhythms and poetic lyrics has a broad appeal that transcends genre. Bob Pigott combines the mellow sounds of vocals, guitar, and piano with story telling about everyday living, warts and all. His attention to words sets him apart from many country performers, but the honesty of the lyrics come straight from the heart.

This adaptability was a hallmark of the acclaimed debut EP Working Man’s Dream, which rocketed Bob onto the Australian country music scene in 2003. The collection of carefully-crafted songs immediately caught the ear of radio station programmers across the length and breadth of Australia and, of all places, in the French country music scene.

In Australia, Bob’s intimate style and ability to craft songs that are artful as well as commercial, brought him nominations and success at the 1233 ABC Music Awards. The award winning “Auntie Bonnie” has a pure, homespun quality that showcases Bob’s gift for discovering the heart of a song and producing lyrics that sound like words we could hear ourselves speaking. His second award winning tune, “Back Verandah,” is a simple song about a man with simple needs.

Bob has performed all over Australia, from Nimbin to Sunbury, and Bob's new album, Central Avenue, released in March 2006, features a number of live tracks, which continue to have audiences smiling and laughing at all his gigs.
