He could've exploited the fact that he's the son of iconic Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare, was born into Nashville's Music Row elite, and counted artists like Shel Silverstein as close family friends and George Jones and Tammy Wynette as next door neighbors. Instead, Bobby blazed a path of unique songwriting craftsmanship with a voice that blows through you like an unyielding wind on the desolate prairie.

Hoist the King is the psych-folk and alternative musical project of acclaimed American screenwriter, director, and producer Steven Conrad (known for Patriot, The Pursuit of Happyness, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and DTF St. Louis).
