Bob Danzilo is a Brooklyn born singer/songwriter who writes his acoustic music in what would be described Alternative Country/Americana genre. Although his earlier musicalroots were inspired by the Beatles and other British invasion bands, it wasn't long before the influences of the folk music scene caught his attention. Although originally a drummer/singer for the Backbeats, a local Brooklyn band, Bob was influenced by the sound and music of Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot , Harry Chapin and John Stewart. He switched to guitar to accompany his vocals and as a tool for his songwriting, and translated much of his percussive abilities to his rhythm guitar. He made his first early appearances performing in New York folk venues like Pip's , and Greenwich Village's Folk City and The Back Fence. When he came to Cincinnati in the late 70's, he built his local reputation at the city's Blind Lemon Cafe and appeared on local TV shows (like Bob Braun, Attic Inc.) and opened for more mainstream acts like Phoebe Snow and Randy Newman at Bogart's, an area showcase. Over the years, Bob has had opportunity to travel extensively both in and out of the US. This eclectic lifestyle has given him a broad spectrum of experience, and forms the foundation of material for his original compositions, which are partly autobiographical, partly fiction and are mostly shaped as story songs. Bob's sets are both entertaining and interesting, mixing a rich vocal style with full rhythm guitar and a wonderful mix of compositions. His new album of all original compositions “LIFESONG” is available online at CD Baby, ITunes and Amazon.com as well as his website bobdanzilomusic.com. He makes his home in Kennebunk, Maine and is an active member of the Maine Songwriters Association and Nashville Songwriters Association International.
