Bobby Cool was born, Robert Talton Cool, in Atlanta, Georgia on March 26, 1986. He grew up listening to artists like James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel. And for most of his childhood, Bobby listened to the rock, folk, and pop that his parents would play around the house. It wasn't until high school that he first started listening to country music.

"A friend of mine grew up listening to country, but we would make fun of him, and talk about how all he was listening to was that his truck broke down, his baby left him, and his dog got runned over," Cool laughs. "But then, he played us some stuff, and I was like okay, maybe this isn't so bad. Then, I found that I couldn't get those songs out of my head. And then I was hooked. It all happened very fast," Cool jokes.

Cool is a country traditionalist through and through, but he has the ability to incorporate various musical genres into his music and still keep it country. "I heard someone say once, that country was all in the singer," Cool explains. "I feel like the music that we play is county music and that no matter how the music is stretched, one way or the other, it will still be country."

Recently, Cool released a self-titled EP of five songs, which are all self penned. “I was so excited to get these songs out there,” he says. “I feel like these songs are a good representation of where I am right now, as both a writer and an artist. I think they are all very different, but together, they give a pretty good picture of the kind of music I’d like to make.” That picture, as Cool will admit, is continuing to change and grow. “We hope to have our first album out towards the end of this summer, but we’ll see. We also want to start booking shows again and get back out there playing live, so I’m hoping that it will all come together.”

In addition to working as an artist, Cool is working with a songplugger in Nashville, helping plug other writers’ material. “I’m with an awesome group of people who have been so encouraging for me,” he says. “One thing that I am really learning is that with most anything, and especially with music, you’ve got to be patient with it. And sometimes you’ve got to be patient for a while.” He then pauses and says with a smile, “But that’s okay.” 

Is Cool really your last name?

Yes.

What question or comment do you get most about your last name?

Is Cool really your last name.

Who is your favorite artist?

Probably James Taylor, but it really could depend on the day. I go through a rotation with James, George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Eminem. Okay, not Eminem.

If you could do or be anything other than a musician, what would it be?

I would either want to be on the show Mythbusters or be Bear Grylls on Man vs. Wild. Or, maybe be in charge of Shark Week. Basically, just work for the Discovery Channel.

If there was one thing that you want to say to somebody reading this bio, what would it be?

That I like them and I hope we can be friends.

I think it goes without saying that it is the goal to write, record, and perform the best music that we can.  We hope to put on a show that is memorable, engaging, and somehow different everytime you come.

It is our mission, though, to show the love of Jesus Christ through our interactions with all, in hopes that music will be a means in which the Gospel is shared throughout.
