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, 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 (as he does currently), in the 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 twelve 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! As if this wasn't enough, Bob has also had theater experience, with lead roles in "1776", "Born Yesterday", "Sugar", and "Mr. Roberts". Bob now lives in Putnam Lake, NY with his wife, Sue.

Their daughter Renee and her husband, Adam, live and work in Brooklyn.

Bob continues to entertain audiences from Jersey to Massachusetts with his song writing and outstanding voice. Checkout "Appearances" on the left for a list of his upcoming shows.
