Grammy-nominated vocal acrobats, certifiable nutjobs, and perennial audience favorites, The Bobs offer incredible live performances, witty, tuneful, original material, and outrageous covers of classic songs. In shows that are part theater, part comedy, part performance art, and utterly unique, this a cappella "band without instruments" uses voices and body percussion to fill a room with an orchestra of harmonious sound as they present a repertoire that ranges from soulful to satire, amazing to moving, and familiar to unimaginable.

“The Bobs prove that the human voice remains the most powerful instrument of all.”
— Washington Post
“... style that combines astounding vocal agility, deliciously ridiculous original pieces, with wildly imaginative arrangements of tunes by the likes of the Doors, Kurt Weill and the Beatles, and off-the-cuff stage antics that give every performance the edge of stand-up comedy.”
— The Seattle Times
“The Bobs - the originators of modern a cappella, and still the greatest!”
-Dr. Demento
