and artistic talent of the great lyricists." - Frank Sinatra

scope." - Sammy Cahn

Get ready to start the holiday season with a bowlful
of laughs with The Bobs, an award winning a cappella
quartet (with no one in the group named Bob – go figya'),
featured regularly on NPR & PBS. Their combined musical wizardry
causes audiences to "spontaneously combust" (to quote
a Bobs song) with alarming regularity as they reinvent classics
like "Psycho Killer" & "Helter Skelter"
(which was nominated for a Grammy). The Bobs will perform a holiday
concert featuring tunes like "Santa's Got A Brand New Bag",
"Fifty Kilowatt Tree", "The Night Before The Night
Before Christmas" & "Do You Hear What I Hear, Man?"
in addition to some of their non-standards like "Fluffy's Master
Plan for World Domination", "A Capella Choir in the Sky"
& "Please Let Me Be Your Third World Country".
"One of the most entertaining acts on the
live circuit today." - The Bergen Record/Home News Tribune
