C*Bob
is Chris Hunt, a young singer-songwriter from Leicester, England who
tries to revolve his life around the things he loves most.
After
the split of rock band Ikes Kansis in late 2002, Chris hung up his
electric guitar and turned to the acoustic. Writing in more of an up
beat, blues influenced style he dubbed the 'Sunshine Blues', he took
to the stages around Leicester playing solo gigs under his old
nickname.
Happy
with the direction he was taking, in late 2016 he met up with the
other ex-members of Ikes Kansis – Rob Connolley (Electric Guitar),
Rob Crane (Bass) and James Merry (Drums) – and asked if they were
interested in backing his music as a side project (as they had all
since joined other bands). After their first jam in over two years
it was evident that the magic was still there and wasn’t long
before C*Bob became everyone’s primary focus as they started
building a following in Leicester with a number of well received
performances. In March 2005 along came old friend Neil Woolley on
percussion and keyboards, completing their lineup and sound.
After
much positive response to their self recorded and produced debut EP
'Ride The Waves', C*Bob & his ‘Sunshine Blues’ band are now
working on bringing their music to the world, building on their fan
base and playing their feel-good tunes all over the country.
