More about Bobby G:
After growing up on a plantation in Washington County, Mississippi, Bobby moved to Toledo as a teenager. He found work with the city as a garbage man and later as a machinery operator over the course of four decades.
Along the way, Bobby cut his teeth in Toledo’s blues scene, performing at venues like The Green Lite, Anglers, Walnut Room and the Peacock as the lead singer for bands such as Creation of Soul, Big Boz Bluz, Curtis Jr. and the Midnight Rockers as well as his own band, Bobby G and Friendz.
Fast forward to 2016, when Bobby hooked up with Henry, a local blues enthusiast who often hosts shows in the Waterville cigar shop. Henry, who was starting his own blues record label, Third Street Cigar Records, enlisted the writing services of renowned bluesman and friend Johnny Rawls to pen an album of songs for Bobby G. The result is Still Standing, a no-frills blues album recorded at Toledo School for the Arts featuring soulful, danceable tracks like the title cut, “Love Love Love,” “I Almost Love You” and “Party Man.”
