04. April 2023 - Bullaugenkonzert # 108 – BOB SPRING
Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very, very much for the great and crazy weekend! :-D From trains going off the tracks, hotels in Bern and the bombastic-out-of-range birthday party at Langstrasse Zürich, that in fact was spontaneously jacked by an Anarcho riot a la 70's, including molotovs, cubble stones and fully armed police corps. Damn, I really didn't see this coming!
Anyway, the show goes on and I'm flabbercasted to announce my next show taking place at the Grabenhalle in St. Gallen on April 5. around 8:30 pm!
Here's the info:

30. March 2023 - Green Tour and Chäsi in Epsach
First of all I wanted to thank everybody who helped, supported and hosted me on my tour through Germany and Poland! Each and every single gig was a full house, which, to be honest, I really did not expect! I met wonderful people and saw so many beautiful places which I would have never seen if I did the tour in a regular way. So, I think I'll keep touring this way, it seams to work perfectly! <3
I'll put on some more pictures soon!
Further, I'd like to invite you to my next solo show here in Switzerland at the Chäsi in Epsach!
It's going to be a living room like concert and it's open to everyone!
Please visit the SHOWS section of my website for further information.
20. January 2023 - Album Green Tour just kicked off!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it‘s happening at this very moment, my green tour for the new album „I woke up like this“ takes place, and I‘m on the way to Friedrichstadt in Germany. I am doing this all on my own and take the full financial risk as well. Sadly, neither the city of Zürich, the National institution ProHelvetia, nore the self-crowned „Green Touring Network“ in Germany wanted to support this tour or even think of answering any e-mail. I‘m not bitching or crying, it just leaves me guessing if anyone is, in fact, really interested in making a change for the planet we‘re living on, or, if all that talking it is nothing but another inaccettable way of selfrendering. We’ll see. :-D So, if anyone out there feels like supporting me in a way, feel free to reach out by e-mail and we‘ll make it out. :-D
I am excited about the upcomg shows, meet new people, see new places, and of course play the album songs alongside with a few brand new ones!
Can‘t wait to see you soon! <3
20. December 2022 - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Hey Folks!
Thank you all for supporting my music in what turned out to be an awesome year for musicians and songwriters alike.

I hope y'all have enjoyed seeing my work, the "Black Hope Yard" video, as well as the release of my 5th solo album, I woke up like this and the Album Lyrics & Song Stories book. Of course, the media feedback could have been bigger, still, I am thankful for every single gig, review and appereance that came along. Thanks for helping me keep the ball rolling... the work continues!
Similar to this year, I am going to be at some great festivals, theaters, and local venues next year. Please lookout for an announcement soon, until then, check in to my website's show section to stay ahead of the curve.
As a traveler, I am more grateful than ever to be home for the holidays. Wherever you are, we hope you have a warm and safe time with family and those closest to you. Cherish your time, and lookout for one another!

14. October 2022 - Great shows of October
Here come some great news for you! The coming weekend is going to be a spaced one for I'll be playing a 4:00 am show... But, first things first. On Saturday evening I'll do a show at Onkel Emma's place alongside with some other great, acoustic musicians. Then, the same night at 4:00 am: HAS Club Festival solo show!
Plus, and here it comes, another show just dropped in, and that's gonna be a blast:
On Tuesday October the 18th, I'll support the legendary Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons at the Dynamo in Zürich! Since I am addicted to Motörhead now for about 25 years and had the honor to drink with Mr. Lemmy K. himself at the Rainbow, supporting Phil and his true rock'n'roll band is a wonderful thing!
Then, on the 20st, a gig I've been waiting for for quite a long time... And now it really seams to happen!
I feel blessed to play at the Acoustic Nights at Altes Spital Solothurn! See you there! <3
And, last but not least, on the 23rd, I'll support the wonderful Sereina Telli releasing her first solo album at the Amboss Rampe in Zurich.
So, you see, there's a lot going on this month and I really hope to catch you out there!
Love & Peace!

27. January 2021 - New video and new merchandise products
Hello, I really hope you all are doing good during this second lockdown. Me personally I'm getting slightly pissed of these useless, half-thought-through measures.
Anyway, the topic here's another one. Some may already know it and watched it, other maybe not. So here, oficially: I did a cool video to the recently released single, "Isolated", which by the way can be purchased here by choosing your favorite store to do so: https:lnk.site/bobspring-isolated
And here, the video. Hope you like it, enjoy!
NEW MERCHANDISE PRODUCTS IN THE STORE
Yes right, here's some cool new stuff to buy... Now that the online markets seem to boom, I thought I hopp on that train too. Haha!
Check out the store section to view more and order whatever your heart desires!
26. December 2020 - NEW single ISOLATED out now
Hello everybody! I really hope you all had a great and safe Christmas.
It was a very strange year and I, as many others too, had to fight several issues and struggle with their side effects. From not being able to play live shows to financial devastation to isolation and depression. In the beginning it wasn‘t even too bad to experience this decelleration but it soon revealed its ugly side... The lack of life. All of what happened and is still going on, made me realize that there‘s something essencial missing in my life: YOU!
I realized that it‘s not the music alone making me happy, it‘s the communication, even the silent kind, I have with you at my shows. You may have no idea what that means to me and how much inspiration you give me without even knowing. Me, for my part, I will be even more thankful to have you attending my shows cause I know that you are the thing that keeps me going. THANK YOU!
I never wanted to do as so many other artists did, almost denied the idea of recording a Covid-19 song... Still, since I coulden‘t ignore its side effects anymore, it happened automatically. Who knows, maybe it helps a bit.
So, enough of the talking, here‘s my new single entitled „Isolated“. It is also available on Spotify, iTunes and so on...
Enjoy and feel free to share it, comment on social media and discuss the effects of isolation with your friends and family, it helps! Trust me, I‘m a doctor! Haha!
30. September 2020 - New dates announced
Okay, let's just say it how it is: This year SUCKS big time! I don't think I ever had a year with less shows than 2020. Anyway, enough of the negative spreading ... Here's some joyful news for all of us:
I got spontaneously booked for a show at the probably coolest Club Festival in the greater Zürich area!
THE HAS CLUB FESTIVAL!
My playtime will be around 10:00pm on Thursday night and the party will go on till Monday! Accomodation, free of charge, great people and loads of music! 50 Bands and DJs. Go check my SHOWS section for further information!
Musicians are also welcome to have a jam through the night! Can't wait for it ! <3
12. September 2020 - NEW Lyric videos
Since I didn't play many shows this year, as every artist would say at the point, I used the time to improve my video editing skills a little bit and did 3 lyric videos for the "American Dream" album. More to come soon.
Check them out and don't forget to give it a like AND comment AND share! Thank you!
BOB SPRING - WHISKEY CALLING (American Dream 2020)
BOB SPRING - HEARTLESS LAND (American Dream 2020)
BOB SPRING - AMERICAN DREAM (American Dream 2020)
15. July 2020 - THE INFLUENCER
"The Influencer" by Rainer Kuhn (KULT Magazine) is just amazing, interviews without any filter or redos... Just written down as they were spoken.
A new magazine featuring the stories behind the storytellers, unmasked, uncensored and best of it all: It is only available as an analog magazine, printed on eco paper... THIS IS THE SHIT :-D You can get it at any Kiosk (Switzerland) or through its website THE INFLUENCER
Oh, did I already mention that there's a 6 page, very personal, interview with me in it?! :-D
YES, and there's also a QR Code inside that allows you to
download an unreleased, exclusive, song of mine.
22. June 2020 - New Album "American Dream"
Due to the actual situation and protests in the U.S.A. I decided to postpone the release of my solo album "I woke up like this" to fall 2020 and release
"American Dream" instead. I decided to do so to show my solidarity with the colored community and against social injustice. This album is a so-called concept album about the "other-America" I experienced; The good, hard working people, the artists, the dreamers... I personally still believe in the "American Dream", that everything is possible if you work hard on it. And I also think that the actual political situation, means, the presidency of Mr. Trump, is not just a sad joke... No, it's a drama that is about to destroy everything I believed in. And I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way. We need to face and stand against the social injustice, the racism and the malpractice of law empowerment happening day by day.
The album will be released (digitally) on 4th of July and be available in all digital music stores and streaming services.
For those who can't wait there's the option to get it right now by subscribing to my website. Subscribe HERE.
The subscription is paired with a monthly donation/support starting at 20.00.- / CHF/USD a Month. Attention: The album is included in subscriptions from 50.00.- /CHF/USD on.
30. April 2020 - LIVE STREAM - Hürlimann Sessions at KATER
Hello you all!
Crazy times, I know. All concerts and also the release of my new record have been postponed to Fall 2020.
Nevertheless, not to play any shows isn't an option for me and neither it is for the KATER in Zürich. Hürlimann and the KATER feature a few artists by inviting them to play on their LIVE STREAM SESSIONS, The Hürlimann Sessions.
Tomorrow evening it's my turn and I'm pretty excited about it! Make sure you don't miss it!
Thursday, April 30st
Show start: 21:00h (Swiss time)
Where: https://www.facebook.com/events/519061202304367/
23. April 2020 - Corona Virus Lock-Down: Album Released Postponed
Hello dear fans, friends and partners!
Due to the actual lock-down situation the album release has to be postponed. Since it doesn't really make sense to release a record not being able to play any live shows to promote it, this seams to be the option left.
Even though it p*@#es me off quite a bit, we have to go through this and do whatever it takes to keep the virus from spreading. So, stay at home be safe and be responsable when meeting people.
Keep visiting my website for updates on the release! Thank you!
Love,
Bob

26. August 2019 - Special Concert @ Zum Bauernhof
Special solo show taking place this coming Thursday at Zum Bauernhof in Oberlunkhofen AG.
Von tröstlicher Melancholie bis zur abgründigen Zerrissenheit. Alles an Bob Spring ist echt. Sein Leben ist ein Drahtseilakt ohne Netz. Das mag beängstigend sein – aber für sein Publikum auf eine subtile Art eine intensive Erfahrung. Es gibt nicht viele Künstler die es schaffen, alleine mit einer Gitarre das Publikum über ein ganzes Konzert in seinen Bann zu ziehen. Bob kann das. Und sind wir mal ehrlich: da draussen gibt es fast nichts mehr, was uns wirklich berührt. Aber he, man muss nicht immer zu allem eine Meinung haben und man muss diese auch nicht jedes Mal kundgeben. Manchmal ist es viel heilsamer man hält einfach mal den Mund und lässt der Musik ihren Platz.
THURSDAY Aug. 29th live @
Gasthaus zum Bauernhof
Zürcherstrasse 23

12. November 2018 - NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!
Dear fans, friends and listeners,
After the "Bob Spring & the Calling Sirens" Ireland Tour in 2016 the band and I started working on our next album which was supposed to be released in Spring 2017. Though, life's a bitch and I know what I'm talking about... 2016 Was definitly the worst year in my entire life, even worse, it almost terminated it. At that time I really couldn't say whether this album was ever going to be recorded, finished and released or not. My band, The Calling sirens were the true heroes and prooved
their very loyalty and deep friendship guiding me through these pitch black days that seamed never to come even close to something like an end.
Now, two years later I feel a little better even if my life's still upside down and I often break down in tears when I try to work it out, me, my heart, my soul, my love etc. The great thing I never thought would happen is: I'm really holding this record in my hands! I listen to it and it is maybe the BEST and most authentic diary
ever. It took so much sweat, tears, blood, confidence and strenght, you wouldn't believe it. I guess that 90% of the people who are close to me would have resigned
and just ceased working with me. A big, no, A HUGE, nooo, THE BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER goes to my friends and band mates Andé, Michel, Silvan and Guido
for all they did for me, for all the shit they had to swallow because of me and my misery, for never giving up on me and for picking up the millions and millions of slivers to repair what was left of my heart and faith. Boys, I LOVE YOU and I owe you so much.
And here it is, an album that shakes the frozen glaciers, breaks open the hardest of Granite to rock you and elevate you into infinite compassion and awareness
in a cradle of deep, indescribable cradle of sound.
DARK COUNTRIES - The title is an absolute metapher for what is the deepest inside of a human being... The human abysses, dreams, wishes, regrets, sadness,
anger, hate, desperation, joy, feeling abandoned and desperatly godforsaken lonely. The dark countries. Word.
Enough said and I promise I wont write anything as personal like this little anectode fo quite a while ;-)
02. November 2018 - TONIGHT LIVE at Spinnerei Bern
