Bob Greenman is a singer, song-writer, guitarist and harmonica player. His song writing, selection of cover material and performance style combines elements of blues, jazz and Americana.

Growing up, working and living in rural and urban areas along the New York/Pennsylvania border exposed him to multiple musical genres. His earliest childhood memories of music were of jazz. Jazz was still prevalent on AM radio during that time of his life.

During his childhood years his parents had a small collection of jazz-standard LPs that he listened to regularly and he could hear neighbors’ radios that were tuned to jazz stations as he lie in bed at night.

By the mid 1960s he was regularly listening to the R&B music that originated in Detroit and Philadelphia. His vocal abilities grew by memorizing and singing those song lyrics.

He was later inspired by the cries for justice coming from the protest song writers of the sixties such as Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, Nina Simone, and Buffy Saint Marie. Bob began writing poetry and short stories on these themes but musical rhythms from within were calling him to music and songwriting. His initial musical repertoire was mostly comprised of songs in the Americana genre.

By then late 1970s Bob returned to his first musical love – Jazz.He was again listening to jazz-formatted radio and collecting jazz records.His repertoire is now a fusion of jazz, blues and Americana.
