For over thirty years, Bobby Maynard has played the music that he loves. An accomplished musician on banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and bass, Bobby has produced three solo CDs, “Gospel Pickin,” “It’s What I Do,” and “Holly Jolly Pickin’.” All of these recordings feature Bobby playing all the instruments. In June 2004, Bobby and his band, Bobby Maynard & Breakdown, released a new CD “Sounds Like Hillbillies.” Bobby’s newest project is entitled “Livin’ Lovin’ Laughin’” and features 13 tracks, including 11 original songs written by Bobby. The songs on the new CD offer the listener a great variety from toe-tapping to touching to humorous, with two fresh and flaming instrumentals.
