R.J. (Bob) Gill has been singing since the
age of five and turned professional at the age of 28 after varied
occupational experiences. During his successful stage career he
entertained enthusiastic audiences throughout Ontario and has released
four well-received recordings. Bob also has numerous talent contest
wins to his credit and was ranked in the top 5 country singers in
Canada at The Canadian Country Open. He has also performed in
Nashville at Broadway Music Hall and the popular Tootsie’s. Bob’s music
has been most influenced by none other than Waylon Jennings.
Bob
maintains an up to date repertoire of Waylon's music and currently
performs most songs ever released by him. Since Waylon's untimely death in
February 2002, Bob has
had an inner desire (and destiny) to focus exclusively on preserving to
eternity the music of his idol. He has concentrated on following
the recommendations of his many fans by perfecting a Legends Waylon
Jennings tribute show; and, has done so with his usual success. When
you look at Bob on stage, you think immediately of Waylon. When
you hear Bob sing Waylon’s music and close your eyes, you are
immediately positioned in the midst of fans at any one of the late and
great performer's concerts. Bob, like Waylon, sings with a style that
seems to come from the soul and reflects both the joy and the pain of a
man who has experienced each. The keen understanding of the moods
and sounds of the common people, of which he considers himself a part,
shines through on stage and off.
Bob keenly looks
forward
to performing in your area in the near future. When you hear a
live show and it sounds like Waylon, stop in and pull up a chair for a
memory packed show you won’t forget. You could be hearing R.J. (Bob)
himself paying his heartfelt respects to the one and only Waylon.
