Bob McCarroll
Musician, Composer, & Artist/Designer

Canadian born, Scottish raised and still a UK citizen, Bob McCarroll has lived in the U.S. since 1970. and in Phoenix, Arizona since 1980.

Bob started playing guitar at age of 10 and has always had a strong passion for melody. Bob's musical interests range from jazz fusion to The Great American Songbook. To date, Bob has 5 CD projects on the market and is currently working on his 6th.

Recently, Bob has focused his songwriting abilities on writing songs in the style of The Great American Songbook - what people might refer to as the Tin Pan Alley style of writing. This true love for early 20th century popular music actually only took hold of Bob about 6 years ago. It all started when watching an early Betty Hutton movie — a pseudo comedy/musical film called "The Stork Club." Excitedly, Bob embarked on - what he refers to as - a magical, musical journey to learn, study, and play the timeless and wonderful melodies of Betty's era - the 1930s through the late 50s.

Bob's next CD project, temporarily titled "These Few Moments," will consist of 12 new original songs written in the American Songbook style. You can find out more about Bob McCarroll by visiting his website: http://www.bobmccarroll.com
