Bobby Dove

Bobby Dove, the Canadian singer-songwriter, is quickly becoming a magnetic presence in the world of Country and Americana music. With a voice as powerful as their storytelling, this trans/non-binary troubadour pays tribute to the golden age of Country, while crafting original, emotionally charged songs that "blend genres with the touch of a master." (Mary Gauthier) 

In 2021 Bobby released their sophomore record, Hopeless Romantic, coproduced with Blue Rodeo's Bazil Donovan, and Tim Vesely (Rheostatics), which gained international acclaim and climbed the Canadian Roots and US Alt-Country radio charts. The album earned Bobby a record deal in the Netherlands, leading to their first European tour in 2022/23. Bobby Dove has given highlight performances at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Vancouver Island Music Fest, Winnipeg Folk Fest and Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht, NL. Along the road, Bobby has collaborated with luminaries such as Fats Kaplin, Mary Gauthier, Richard Thompson, Ray Benson, and Lavender Country. 

 Bobby is preparing to release a new full-length album in 2025, produced by Aaron Goldstein (Cowboy Junkies/City and Colour) with 13 new tracks, including a cowrite/duet with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale.  On tour in 2024/early 2025,  Bobby will be making dozens of stops in North America, including performances at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa,  Dauphin's Countryfest, and official showcases at Americanafest in Nashville, the Folk Music Ontario conference in Mississauga, ON and SXSW in Austin, Texas.

 "I’m not sure if Hank Williams or Hank Snow kept a mistress in Montreal or Manitoba maybe we didn’t hear about and passed some genes down, or what has possessed Bobby Dove to become like a vessel or channeller for all the great classic country music influences we so sorely miss.” - Saving Country Music (USA)
