Hello dear friends and fans!
I got great news for you! On July 4th I released my new album called "American Dream" and it is also available here on N1M!
This album is my contribution to a better world... Due to the actual situation and protests, the songs make more sense than ever before. I want to show my compassion with the colored community and also make a statement against racism and social injustice!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
Love,
Bob Spring

HERE'S THE PROJECT IN ENGLISH:
Bob Spring - solo album 2017
Bob Spring's fans are waiting for new music. This is abundant and is now to be produced and published. 2017 the solo album with 20 songs will be brought to the people.
Project Description - Bob Spring - Solo Album 2017
It's been over a year since we've released our debut, Bob Spring & The Calling Sirens, and over 2 years since my last solo album, "Dust And Arrows." The free album "Flesh And Rust" (2016), of course. Actually, I wanted to publish a solo album in 2016 but life has played me pretty badly and embedded me in the swamp of loss. Nevertheless, I was not idle and continued to work at the usual rhythm and wrote songs ... In 2016, it was proud 133.
I would like to publish this and I would be very glad if this would work. For this I need your support.
On the album, the 20 Dark Country / Junk Blues songs will be held: Melancholic, Authentic, Honest, and No squiggles. Of course, all written and performed by myself.
Like any of my published albums, it is also a very personal, a kind of diary which also speaks to other people from the heart, not just from mine. About half of the songs were produced in a more "happier" time while the other was in one of the most terrible of the last 10 years. From a break-up mood, change and trust to fatal disappointment, loss and infinite sadness.
Release - Bob Spring - solo album 2017
The release of the album is scheduled for April 2017. The distribution and promotion abroad takes over the legendary, California, SUGO Music Group. For the time being, BLOFELD is for sale as a promotion agency and K-Tel / ZYX.
Of course, the album is also available in all popular online stores such as iTunes, Rhapsody and Spotify. The baptism of the disc is still in planning but it is certain that there will be a very nice, cozy and authentic celebration.
Production - Bob Spring - Solo Album 2017
The production itself is entirely marked by the content itself; Authentic, Intimate, Human. I mostly produce the album in my studio in Zurich as well as mixing the individual songs. For the mastering I am, as with my previous productions, Maor Appelbaum from Appelbaum Mastering in Los Angeles, CA as I personally and professionally know him very well and he seems to me the best price / performance ratio seems to have.
Artist - Bob Spring
About Bob Spring - As a former frontman of «Backwash», Bob Spring coined the concept of «Kick Ass Rock'n'Roll» after the turn of the century. Today - 10 years later - he has devoted himself to alternative country. That the native Zuger now performs sitting and his T-shirt remains, but has nothing to do with the aging. More with a simple automatism: The grip on Western guitar in songwriting. Perhaps less angry, but certainly no less excessive. Honest, uncut, direct, personal. This is the new Bob Spring. This is confirmed by Andy Knecht, former A & R of EMI and founder of CD Studio AG in Zurich: "The man is a force! A real «musicians' musician».
Since 2007, Bob Spring has been solo and has written and produced more than 400 songs. "I am an industrious songwriter, although I often find it difficult to focus on myself." His passion is, however, the live performances, especially in the USA. Here, the full-blown musician regularly performs and has already played several concerts with the Marty brothers, from New York City via Nashville to Los Angeles. Last year, he went on a 6-week solo USA tour from New York to (expired link). Spring played 17 concerts in smaller venues, at renowned clubs like the Whiskey a Go Go at the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles or the Basement in Nashville. On Top, Bob performed a live set in the Blue Plate Special from the world-famous radio WDVX in Knoxville, Tennessee. After the US tour in October 2014, he released his joint studio album "Bob Spring & The Calling Sirens". In May 2016 we went on a tour with the whole band.

About Bob Spring
“His confidence in performance tells the tale of a man that has no need to prove himself, what you see is what you get, and with no airs and graces, he does exactly that, right in front of your eyes from centre stage. Bob hones his style to one of his own creation, giving us a unique twist on “Alternative Country”, where he speaks of not only the heart and soul, but real life situations, experiences and observations giving us a first-hand view into the life of a true professional.”
— Ian Davies - International Music Journalist and Director of Core Global Media
Living the true rock n roll lifestyle as a singer/songwriter, Bob Spring has spent many dedicated years trying to cut his teeth in the industry and perfect his craft. One thing that stands out with this truly inspirational performer is the love of the songs he has written as he almost cradles them from the footlights, almost nurturing them, as if they were meant as a personal performance just for you. Each track has been carefully crafted to give every nuance time to evolve in his mind, before releasing it to the world. His confidence in performance tells the tale of a man that has no need to prove himself, what you see is what you get, and with no airs and graces, he does exactly that, right in front of your eyes from centre stage.
With a Swiss/Italian/American origin, Bob hones his style to one of his own creation, giving us a unique twist on “Alternative Country”, where he speaks of not only the heart and soul, but real life situations, experiences and observations giving us a first-hand view into the life of a true professional. His journey started at the tender age of five as he took up the violin, but as soon as he discovered his voice, it left him with not only a problem, but a dilemma also, as both elements don’t go together. A choice had to be made, and in Bob’s case it was the right one. Luckily the transition from Violinist to Guitarist was an easy one as the voice was already there. By the age of fifteen, Bob started his first band, but it wasn’t until 2000 that Bob’s success started to shine as the lead singer of a band called “Backwash”, achieving International Recognition, including a record deal with the Houston Texas based label Perris Records.
In 2007 he started his solo-career and since then wrote the incredible amount of more than 600 songs – mostly produced and arranged in his home studio. “I am a painstaking songwriter, even though I often find it pretty hard to stay focused” he describes himself. Bob released his first solo EP “West End EP” (2009) followed by the LP “Run From Death” in June 2013. In May 2014 he released his second full length album named „Dust And Arrows“. October 2014, marked the start of The USA Tour starting in New York, and continued to blaze a trail through Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, Arizona and California which lead to nineteen performances across the United States of America, from small bars in New York City to legendary venues like "The Basement" in Nashville, Tennessee, the WDVX Blue Plate Special Radio show to the Whisky a go go in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.
2015 marked the start of Bobs first Album with his brand new live band. "The Calling Sirens" and played at the world renowned Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland which resulted in performances with Paolo Nutini, Sam Smith, Portishead and many more taking Bob on to record three LIVE videos with 5 cameras. In 2016 Bob dedicated a FREE album to the late Michael Kral called “Flesh and Rust”, a great tribute to a man who was almost a Father figure to Bob over the years and close personal friend. Since then, Bob has released several new singles such as "The Darkest Place", "Spit Me Out and Lick Me Up" and "Gone when you wake", including a compilation of cover songs that he had performed over the years.
