Beatle Bob is an elusive character frequently spotted within the nation's live music scene. From the most hard to find back alley nightclubs for up and comers to the stages of huge festivals like Bonnaroo, he's just there...literally, he just pops up everywhere! Imagine seeing a Sasquatch at Macy's shopping for dress socks. When you see Beatle Bob, it gives you that same kind of feeling. Nobody quite knows how he gets from point A to B or how he gets in to some places at all. He just does and has been doing so for decades. Keep in mind too that he doesn't drive and nobody knows for sure where he lives.
He has literally attended a concert every single day since the mid 1990's! He looks like one of the Beatle's, typically spotted wearing a bright colored sportcoat and dress slacks, dancing like a maniac on or near the stage at live music venues around the country. He's been featured in music videos, industry magazines, websites and even writes about music for a St. Louis based entertainment website.
He is more than a bit eccentric and very hard to describe, so we let him take care of that. His knowledge of music and musicians is like nothing I've ever seen before. He is literally a walking encyclopedia. After several failed (and rather bizarre) attempts to meet up with Bob for an interview, we finally met up in the Spring of 2015 at a fast food restaurant in St. Peters, MO. The picture above was taken right after I picked him up.
