Don Bob Bush Biography

About Me

My name is Don Bob Bush and I was born in a small town in southern Ohio. I was brought up in a southern home and I have been around Country music my whole life. I remember as a young boy on Saturday night sitting on the floor and watching the HeeHaw Show. Roy Clark, Buck Owens and Archie Camble and we can not forget Grandpa Jones. As I grew up my biggest influences were people like Hank Williams Jr,George Jones, Merle Haggard and David Allen Coe. After living in Ohio my family moved around a lot but we finally ended up in Belding Michigan in 1973
Later in life soon after high School I started a band in 1978 it was called The Gamblers Band. We had that band together for two years and we played every weekend to a packed house. Back in those days things were a lot different than they are now in many ways! It was very much fun and we thought we were stars…I had a lot of growing up to do and I would soon be on the road with a new band. A man came in where we were playing one Saturday night and offered me a job singing in his band and they were going on the road and playing in some clubs in Detroit. His name was Hal Beveridge and he was well known around the Grand Rapids Michigan area…I took him up on his offer and I was still green behind the ears but learning the ropes fast. We went into the Studio and recorded (Jim Beam Blues) a song I wrote and a Delbert McClinton song called (Go On) with this band.
We were playing label songs of all of my heroes and I loved it. We were opening for big name bands and having a great time. I have had the opportunity to open for bands like Hank Williams Jr., David Allen Coe and Charley Daniels.
After I played with the Beveridge Brothers Band for a few years I left them and joined a band called Lotta Miles Band and we were on the road around western Michigan. They were a great band and we had a lot of fun and made a lot of money. I had the opportunity to open for Box Car Willie at the Show boat in Lowell Michigan with this band.
It was time for me to start my own band and go on my own so I put together The Don Bob Bush Band and we have been playing in the Grand Rapids area for many years. We have been in and out of the studio and recorded many of my original songs. Some of which are…(A Couple of Fools),( Future Man), (I Learned How to Live) and also (I Still Love You). We will be in the Studio and record more songs soon
