Bob Stanhope is a singer, songwriter, and sometimes humorist who has performed for over four decades in clubs and coffeehouses mainly around the northeast. Recently he's been featured at the Wintonbury Coffeehouse in Bloomfield, CT, the City Center Danbury Summer Concert Series, The Bushnell in Hartford, First Night Danbury, CT, the Putnam County 4-H Fair in NY, and The One Heart Festival in Danbury, CT. While his more serious material might be compared to Billy Joel, Harry Chapin, or Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary, his comic / satirical side could be likened to Weird Al Yankovick or Tom Lehrer. This humorous side was nurtured during his many years during the 80s and 90s as the morning personality on a variety of suburban radio stations.

Bob grew up in Irvington, NY and began performing his progressive folk / humor act years ago while still in college in Pennsylvania. Over the years he's worked as a math teacher, in government Public relations, and in broadcasting. While the day job has changed his love of performing as a singer-songwriter-guitarist hasn't.

He is an thirteen time winner in the Billboard Magazine Songwriter Contest, a performing member of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild, and also an Artistic Member of Mosaic Ministries (a group that promotes musical missionaries. He has been a guest on live national TV and has even recorded with Les Paul!

In addition he's written 10 detective novels as well as 2 memoirs. The memoirs deal with his childhood and his years working in broadcasting.

Bob now lives at Putnam Lake, NY with his wife, Sue. Their daughter, Renee (a voice and piano instructor), and her husband, Adam (an independent film maker), also live at Putnam Lake.
