Bob Frey is a singer-songwriter who has lived and performed in the Twin Cities since 1993. Bob honed his craft in the bars and coffeehouses of his hometown Cleveland, Ohio, as well as in Oxford, Ohio and Chicago. A longtime devotee to the art of writing and performing songs, Frey's songs have a strong melodic base which, coupled with his unique and memorable voice, immediately draws and engages his audience and proves to be the perfect vehicle for his wry, intelligent lyrics.
Bob has released five solo records- "Tape From Minnesota" (2004), "Like A Train" (2007), "Nothing Hid" (2013), "LongShot Deal" (2017) and his most recent- "Ghost"-which was released to critical acclaim in June 2022 . On each of these albums, Bob shows himself to be a versatile writer, his simple folk melodies forming a sound and solid base for his poetic observations and stories. Both in his shows and on his records, Bob frequently appears as a solo performer with just his guitar and harmonica, though often also offers a fuller version of his songs featuring some combination of bass, drums, violin, cello, organ and lead guitar. Since 2017, Bob has played with his band Bob Frey & the Adaptors, featuring Rachel Calvert (violin), Marc Conklin (electric guitar), and Corey Hess (percussion).
