Kayak Rock. WTF is Kayak Rock?

It’s kind of like yacht rock, but with a smaller wake! And it’s what I (half?) jokingly call my performance style.

Combining elements of Rock, Country & R&B, and whatever grateful phish (haha) bits that might be floating in the water, I like to create grooves that can be explored if and when the mood hits.

I love singing songs about shores that we all tend to travel close to, sometimes with the clarity of a clear mountain lake, sometimes with the dark tempest of an afternoon thunderstorm. Songs that you’ll find yourself humming one afternoon, keeping a smile on your face as you go about your day.

There’s a quiet calm, an inner peace, that I tap into when I’m out kayaking. A greater cosmic awareness of the whole environment I’m in. Something whispers to my soul that says you are a part of this beautiful landscape, and it’s hard to stay focused on trivial things with that awareness.

The music that I write and perform whispers to my soul in the same way, reminding me that there is always beauty, even in the unexpected, we just need to stay aware and in awe of what we’re looking at (listening to).

Hmmm, makes me feel the same way as kayaking……hmmmm…….

WTF, Kayak rock!!!

Until next time,

Bobby
