"Bob Livingston tugged his cowboy hat, stuffed his jeans into his boots, hooked on his guitar strap and came onstage in Madras, India. "I'm here to play country music," he said to the audience. What country? That's the question."
Mike Zwerin - International Herald Tribune

Singer-songwriter Bob Livingston has never been a traditional Texas country musician living the honky-tonk life even though he's spent more than his share of time on the roadhouse circuit with some of the most colorful and rambunctious musicians in Texas. As a member of Austin's legendary Lost Gonzo Band, Livingston toured and recorded with such musical visionaries as Jerry Jeff Walker, Michael Martin Murphey, Ray Wylie Hubbard and many more. Livingston played an integral role in helping to create the music that first earned Austin the designation of "Live Music Capital of the World" and helps explain why he was inducted in to "Texas Music Legends Hall of Fame" in 2016 and the West Texas Walk of Fame in 2018.

Livingston has seen a lot of the world since growing up in musically fertile West Texas. Hailing originally from San Antonio, he moved to Lubbock as a boy where his interests turned more 'Cosmic' than 'Cowboy' and prompted him to delve into the music and mysteries of many cultures. Traveling since the 80's as a Music Ambassador for the US State Department, Livingston has taken Texas music as far afield as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Africa, Vietnam and the Middle East demonstrating again and again the unique power that music has to build bridges between peoples of the world. As Livingston says, 'When all else fails, music prevails'. These tours earned him the honor of being appointed, "Ambassador of Goodwill," by the State of Texas and "Austin's International Music Ambassador," by the City of Austin. www.boblivingstonmusic.com
