“A Be Bard song feels right, like when you meet someone and just click. Whether he’s writing about romance, wanderlust, the Divine, or the ache of modern life, his playful, fresh take and sardonic wit draw me in while his classic arrangements and catchy melodies keep me singing along.”
-- Bonnie Hayes, songwriter (Bonnie Raitt, Adam Ant, Robert Cray), recording artist, musician, record producer, Former Chair of the Songwriting Department at the Berklee College of Music
Be Bard is a singer-songwriter from Texas. His earliest memories are of sitting beneath the piano his mother taught on, the same one her father spent his happiest hours at, playing the Great American Songbook. He started writing songs young, then went looking for more of them: years in Benin, West Africa, and New York City. He raised a family, studied at Berklee College of Music, and kept writing. With every song, Be Bard says yes to the adventure of life – and invites you to do the same.
“Wow...I hear a lot of songwriters who brush over the art of...writing. Be Bard is a direct lineage of the ease of Dylan, the twist of Cohen, and the experience of Waits. ”
--Ruby Rose Fox, CEO of MuscleMusic
“Be Bard’s catchy, well-crafted tunes tell powerful stories with hooks that stick!”
--Randy Soffar, singer/ songwriter/producer/entrepreneur (Z-Rocks, Tracy Conover, So Far The Sharks...)
“Be's fearless and thoughtful bangers keep resonating long after the last chord. He provides a high-quality experience for the listener and takes us on a ride through the full realm of human emotions.”
--Jay Bee Zay (Jay Bee Zay and the Nightcrawlers)
