Born in Nashville, the son of country music icon, Bobby Bare, singer-songwriter Bobby Bare jr cites influence by the songwriting of Shel Silverstein, encapsulating humour and references to popular culture within his songs. Bobby has been in bands such as Young Criminal Starvation League and Guided By Voices.

He is accompanied on this tour by Matthew Paige. Matthew is from East Nashville and is a member of the band, Dee-oh-Gee. Matthew will perform with Bobby, but will also open the show, performing solo material that will be a contrast from his work with Dee-oh-Gee.
