Bob Sumner
With his brother Brian, Bob Sumner has written and played finely tuned songs erected at the borders of country and rock and roll for nearly 15 years, making the Sumner family name synonymous with the alternative folk and country music scenes throughout the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada. Bob Sumner's 2019 solo release, Wasted Love Songs, is a rare debut from a songwriting veteran that expresses the timeless quality found in the melancholy of Townes Van Zandt, the atmospheric momentum of Tom Petty, and the prophetic restlessness of Bruce Springsteen.
