History:
TO BOB was originally formed for our own entertainment
in an West end Studio, on one wet afternoon. Against all odds the first line-up
we put together is to this day the only one. The first song we jammed together
and we all knew this was a magic line-up, we played with emotion & feeling
and it would be very Selfish to keep To Bob to our self and not share the
sound of TO BOB with all music and Dylan fans. So we decided
to take the band on the road to see the reception and after two supports at
the Astoria and about ten pub gigs we were asked to play At the Xmas party
for top Music Company. Every body who saw the band that night advised us to
go professional, as we are mostly pro-musicians and we would rather play music
we like than a hired musician going through the motions. We decided to give
TO BOB a go as a Dylan tribute band.
The Band Lineup:
On top of the list are two session guitarist who gives
To Bob there sound, it's a cross between Dylan, The Faces, The Rolling Stones and The Band.

Last but not least we have our own 'Bob Dylan':
Dave Eton on

A lifetime Dylan fan, Dave has busked around the world
playing guitar and harmonica for years.He has passed on his skills down to his Son Sam who some times stands in on guitar with To Bob and presonly touring with top chart buster artist KT Tuncstal
All of the T.B. band members are respected musicians
in their own right.
We have been told many times of the similarity
of To Bob and Bob Dylan's live performances and we have tried to catch the
vibe of Bob Dylan's live performances at his best period during the late 60s
early 70s? To Bob are most defiantly cheaper
than the real thing and more likely to play at your local venue. The one sure think is -
To Bob is a great live band
