Acoustic Sunrise is just the kind of program to wake up to on a Sunday morning - and then keep listening! Acoustic Sunrise is a unique blend of solo singer songwriters with just the right touch of instrumental music.
Bill Staines, Mary McCaslin, Stan Rogers, Nanci Griffith and Judy Collins are examples of the musicians you'll hear every Sunday.
Start a pot of coffee, grab the Sunday paper, sit back and enjoy the very best contemporary acoustic music has to offer. It's Acoustic Sunrise.
"I'm something of a conundrum," muses the host of Acoustic Sunrise. Born and raised in Dorchester and a life-long resident of the Boston area, Bob's heritage lies elsewhere. His Irish immigrant grandfather owned a fleet of tugboats in New York harbor and an ancestor on his father's side was hanged as a Molly Maguire in coal-country Pennsylvania in the 1870's. "I think this contributed to my deep interest in history, my fondness for writing, my lust for travel and an insatiable curiosity into almost everything, including music."
Bob graduated from Boston College with a major in history and attended graduate school at Boston University for journalism. He has spent my career in the United States Postal Service in a number of different positions. Since 1993 he's served as the agency's public affairs representative and spokesperson for several of the New England States.
