Live Music: Bob Cheevers

Bob Cheevers is a seasoned, Emmy-winning troubadour whose artistic journey has taken him from the R&B roots of Memphis through pop and Nashville songwriting, landing ultimately in Austin.

Since his move in 2008, he’s become a beloved fixture in the Texas music scene—earning the Texas Music Award for Singer/Songwriter of the Year just a few years after relocating.

Known for his authentic storytelling and richly textured narratives, Cheevers crafts songs that span history, humor, and human emotion—often described as “rootsy, blues‑flavored tales” infused with poetic insight.

His work has earned praise from fellow Texas songwriters like Ray Wylie Hubbard and Shake Russell, who admire his inventive wordplay and heartfelt delivery.
