Singer/pianist Bobby Nesbitt has performed extensively on both coasts as well as Europe. Originally from Rochester, NY, Bobby was trained at an early age in classical piano. But Beethoven and Grieg were soon replaced by Berlin and Gershwin as he discovered and concentrated on the masters of 20th Century song.

A resident of Key West, FL , Bobby has performed at all the major resorts on the island. In the mid 80s he moved to Europe and was under contract to Harry's New York Bar, performing in Berlin and Munich (where he has returned fifteen times).

In 1996, Bobby was hired for an engagement at the Fairmont, San Francisco's grand hotel. His two month contract was extended for over two years, as he was happily perched on Nob Hill, performing for San Francisco's finest. In 2001, he was called back to the newly renovated Fairmont, where he was again in residency for a year.

His first major CD, "Big Time" was released in 2001 and was heard on radio stations across the country to glowing reviews. Delta Airlines featured songs from "Big Time" on their in-flight entertainment for four months.

He has recently written and performed a series of shows at the Tennessee Williams Fine Arts Center focusing on one songwriter per show. A combination lecture and concert, his shows include Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Irving Berlin and Johnny Mercer.

Now in it's 5th season, his cabaret series is the hottest ticket in Key West, selling out months in advance. In 2005, he was awarded the Tennessee Williams Award for outstanding contribution to the Arts.

His cabaret series about the great songwriters has been performed on the luxury cruise lines Seabourn, Silversea and Regent to appreciative audiences who love the atmosphere of being at sea and listening to the great American standards.
