About the Author

Author Info

Bobbo Byrnes is a folk-rock troubadour, professional road-warrior, and part-time truck stop philosopher. He’s spent the better part of his life zigzagging across continents with a guitar in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, playing everywhere from dive bars to festivals to that one living room where the dog howled in perfect harmony.

Often described as an “unofficial rock & roll goodwill ambassador,” Bobbo writes songs and stories about wanderers, believers, lost causes, found friends, and the occasional bad motel decision. When he’s not touring, he’s probably plotting the next tour, fixing something that he broke on the last tour, or in a semantic argument with airport security over how many ounces of toothpaste are in a half empty tube.

He believes in two to three chords, honest storytelling, and the idea that miles are better measured in memories than on the odometer.
