Born in San Antonio, raised in Lubbock, Bob Livingston drank from the same water that nourished musicians like Terry Allen, Joe Ely, Lloyd Maines, Jesse Taylor, Butch Hancock, and others who were surfing the wake of Buddy Holly, Sonny Curtis, and the Crickets. He then made his way to Austin and installed himself among the progenitors of the Cosmic Cowboy movement, as bass player for The Lost Gonzo Band, musicians who played outlaw country music and broke the rules (and the laws) that didn’t suit them.
After that, Livingston took his Lost Gonzo Band on the road to all corners of the earth, from India to Africa to Europe. He eventually made it back to Texas, and these days Livingston is fostering cross cultural music of all kinds. He’s produced countless albums, written more songs than he can remember, and is excited to tell you about it all in this book, the story of his fascinating life.
Singer-songwriter Bob Livingston is a folk-rock raconteur. His lifetime of playing, touring, and recording Texas music jumpstarted in 1971 when he came to Austin, Texas, and became a founding member of The Lost Gonzo Band. He is perhaps the most widely traveled Texas musician, a distinction that earned him the honor of being appointed Music Ambassador for the US State Department and Ambassador of Goodwill by the State of Texas. Livingston plays over one hundred shows a year: house concerts, private parties, folk clubs, and festivals. He is currently the artistic director for a multicultural group from Texas and India called Cowboys & Indians and is touring in support of his most recent album, Up The Flatland Stairs. Bob lives in Austin.
