Bobby Faria
Born:
Raised in Newport, Rhode Island by two very musical parents, Bobby has been playing music since the age of 5 or 6 when he used to jam with his Mom and Dad in the living room. Little Bobby would strum his toy ukulele while Tony, his father, stretched out on violin or guitar and Lolly, his mother played the piano and sang. Later, for a short time while in junior high school, his parents rented a tenor sax for him to play in the school concert band. The music wasn't all that motivating to a 13 year old, but the experience of playing that horn was the beginning of a lifelong love of the sound of the tenor saxophone. However, the popular music of the late 60's and early 70's was strongly pulling him toward the electric guitar.
It was during his high school years that he realized how much he loved performing live when he started singing and playing his guitar with a few local Newport rock bands. Later, after college and a move from Newport to Boston for a career in computer software, he discovered many more opportunities to get out and perform. So, after work, he began putting himself out there at the many jam sessions available to him in the "Big City" and he managed to achieve quite a bit of notoriety as a guitar slinger. The jams allowed lots of people to see what he could do and it led to offers for gigs on the active Boston music scene. He's still going strong.
