About Bobby Chitwood:  Bobby was born and raised in Texas. Originally from Brownwood, TX he was raised on classic country from a ranch family. Merle Haggard, George Jones, to George Strait and Alan Jackson. There is no doubt his sound comes from the likes of country greats. Even with that, Bobby still has adopted his own style to find some southern rock influences to really drive some of his music.

   Bobby started writing at an early age and was greatly influenced by his grandfather, Emmet Royce Larkin, who was a respected Christian singer songwriter and released “Good Morning God” with Chapel Records in the 1960’s. Bobby learned three chords on the guitar early on just to play a couple of Christmas songs, and of course his grandfather’s song “Good Morning God”.

Bobby played as a cover band while attending college in Waco, TX and while finishing his degree in Abilene, TX. Bobby received his degree in Aviation Science and is a trained commercial pilot, but the aviation industry just wasn’t stable in the early 2000’s… so Bobby took to the road just playing music. As he built his following he began opening for such acts as John Michael Montgomery, Tracy Lawrence, Clay Walker, David Ball and many others. Bobby eventually began headlining his own shows in large saloons, theaters, and arenas. During this time Bobby’s manager, Stuart Love took notice of him and pushed for a deal. Bobby landed with Mesa-Blue Moon Records under Universal Music Group where he released his album “Gravity”.

   Through all of that, Bobby still took the time to serve his country. Bobby comes from a military family with his dad being a full colonel, grandfathers both officers, and on down his family lineage. All serving. Bobby said, “all the men in my family have served as far back as I can trace, I didn’t want to be the one to stop that legacy”. Bobby joined the National Guard so he could serve and balance his budding career in music.

   The crowds grew and so did his presence on radio and TV. With an appearance on Dr Phil discussing the band life and hardships of the road. At one point Bobby was on the road 300 days out of the year. This earned him the nickname road hound from many of his colleagues in his music. It was a badge he wore with honor.

   Bobby collaborated with Jason Mraz to recut Jason’s song, “I Wont Give Up”. This was released as a single on Bobby’s album, “Gravity”. Much of this was recorded with Jason’s back ground vocalist, Grammy winning Toca Rivera at Jason’s own studio in California. After the release of his single “I Wont Give Up” and the quickness that radio was picking it up, Bobby knew it had to be supported. Another long stint on tour would prove a push too much. Bobby had an injury to his vocal cords that would prove detrimental to continuing at that time.

   It has taken multiple years, and Bobby’s former manager early on (Cowboy Troy) to get him back in the game. Bobby and Troy wrote a song called “Twisted” and it was released and pushed to radio in 2024. The single pushed the top 100 and Bobby has now completed his 6th compilation record.
