Welcome!!!!

Welcome to the newly renovated official web site of Southern California's own singer, songwriter, and  author Bob Karwin. I don't know if there are any "un"official sites, but you are welcome to start one.

NOTE:  Not so fast.  There is now one "un"official site.  Check out my first real fan site at http://www.squidoo.com/bobkarwin  Be sure to click through the ads on the page because 50% of the "click-through" revenue goes to charity.

Island Time Radio Interview

In case you missed it, on January 7th, I was on the radio with Dennis King, host of Island Time on WBWC-FM talking about my new cd, "Have Sun, Will Travel," and other fun stuff coming up for the summer.  You can hear the whole interview by clicking right here:  Island Time Interview

DK's show is on every Monday night from 10:00 p.m. to midnight (East Coast Time).  He plays all kinds of independent trop rockers like me and you should be listening.  You can hear him over the air in the Cleveland, OH area on 88.3 f.m., or in streaming audio at www.wbwc.com 

The interview goes about 15 minutes.  Take a listen and drop me an email to let me know if I came across as a total doofus.
