About the Artist

With the release of “Columbus and the Colossal Mistake”, Bob Delevante, once again graciously offers dispatches from the stronger side of the heart. This collection of eleven new songs and five companion photographs ponder the unforeseen consequences of exploration. Delevante has once again assembled some of Nashville’s most respected musicians including Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller and Garry Tallent (The E Street Band) to create a body of work that pushes the boundaries of country music steeped in traditional American roots music. "Columbus" is a fine follow-up to 1999s "Porchlight" and his previous work with brother Mike as the Delevantes: "Long About That Time" released on Rounder Records in 1995 and "Postcards From Along The Way" on Capitol Records released in 1997. As well as being an award winning songwriter and musician, he is an accomplished photographer who’s work has been featured in B&W magazine, Photographers Forum, national ad campaigns and on the cover of magazines. As a graphic designer he's won an award for a cd packages he has created for the Compadre Records artist Julie Lee and Rod Picott. He has designed book covers for Farm Aid, album covers for Ricky Skaggs, and the occasional birth announcement of his children. Furthermore, as a producer Delevante has recorded albums for countless bands in and around Nashville. In 2002, he formed Relay Station, a creative company that facilitates all of these various mediums from a studio behind his house. The release of “Columbus and the Colossal Mistake” serves as a true reflection of who Delevante is, not only a singer/songwriter, but more importantly an artist concerned with the place where medium and form intertwine to create something much larger than the individual parts.

First heard Bob as one half of the Delevantes with his brother Mike.They produced two fine albums of great pop songs bristling with optimism and life.This album, Bobs second is simply a brilliant collection of songs that will put a smile on your face as you sing along.
