Whether as a solo performer, band leader, band member, session musician, collaborator, or just a fan of music, Bobby Frith prizes a great song above all things. This appreciation has proven vital in his career, the majority of which has been spent in service of other people’s songs. In this collaborator role, he has traveled extensively, performing everywhere from DIY clubs to dive bars, to venues, to music festivals, to radio studios, all over the eastern US — with everyone from country bands to rappers, from punk bands to gospel choirs. Though his own original music has never been the focus of his career, he released Garbage Factory, a studio EP of his own songs, in 2020, and has quietly built up an extensive catalog of original material. His eclectic background has helped him to develop a unique sound and a distinctive songwriting voice, which is characterized by his use of humor and a strong tendency to depict unexpected scenarios – generally avoiding the more tried and tested songwriting topics. Sonically, his material tends toward the softer, melodic side — in all aspects, maintaining firstly the supremacy of the song.
