Born
in Montreal, Canada, singer/songwriter Bobby Dove planted her musical
roots singing and picking at the Wheel Club’s weekly hillbilly nights,
where she found a mentor in the resident lap steel player Bobby Hill:
songwriter, educator, and pioneer of Canadian country radio in the
1950’s.
In 2013 Bobby released the seven song EP, Dovetales,
heralded by CBC’s Brendan Kelly as “a stunner, repping the debut of an
important new voice on our roots scene.” She has since shared stages
with artists such as Justin Townes Earle, JD McPhereson, Richard
Thompson, and Mary Gauthier.
Produced by James McKenty (Blue Rodeo, Gordon Lightfoot), Bobby’s debut full-length album Thunderchild
was recorded with a strong cast of Canadian musicians including Anna
Ruddick, Sam Weber, Bob Cohen, Laura Bates and Burke Carroll. Since the
2016 record launch, Bobby has been touring Canada, winning the hearts of
roots music lovers with her poetic songwriting, powerful voice and
magnetic stage presence.
“Bobby
Dove is a gifted artist, and a brilliant new light on the songwriting
scene. Her songs speak to my heart. Her work is a link in the chain that
binds the future to the past. A time traveler, Bobby’s songs meld
genres with the touch of a master. I am a fan.” Mary Gauthier
“A strong debut from a talented newcomer.” Barry Hammond, Penguin Eggs Magazine

invokes a young female Hank Williams with an old soul and a much better
future. Thunderchild, her debut CD, is a gem!” Richard Flohil
