Bobby
Flores is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, arranger, producer, composer and
first call session musician. He studied music theory and classical violin at
Trinity University under the late Domenick Saltarelli, jazz guitar with Jackie
King and classical guitar with David Underwood. Bobby is featured on over four
hundred albums, CD’s and singles, including performances with numerous artists
on major labels. He composes music for radio and television commercials airing
throughout the U.S., Europe and Australia. While Bobby feels at home in the
country, pop-rock, jazz, blues, Latin and classical genres, he also enjoys
composing for and performing with string quartets.
In 1968, at the age of seven, Bobby started his professional career by
performing at local functions and Texas area circuits in a gospel duo with his
mother Mary Jane Flores. Two years later, Bobby began working nightclubs as a
featured single artist with George Chambers & The Country Gentlemen, a well
known San Antonio country band.
The next ten years would set the precedence for Bobby’s career. He formed his
first band at the age of thirteen and started opening for national artists such
as
Tanya Tucker and
Conway Twitty. To coincide with Bobby’s
live performances, he was also chosen to be a feature spokesman for the regional
Big Red soft drink television commercials. Shortly afterward, he recorded his
first of four charting country singles and released his first LP album on the
San Antonio based Joey Records.
By the middle 80’s, Bobby had become bandleader, show opener and fiddle player
for Johnny Bush and the Bandoleros,
vocalist/guitarist for Top 40 and rock bands, “Gone City” and “The Boiz”, and
was also performing with the Trinity University Community Orchestra.
In 1988, along with brother, Greg and sister, Sandra, Bobby formed the band
“Angel Fire” and played the Texas “A” circuit until 1997, opening for numerous
country superstars, including George
Strait and Garth Brooks. Shortly
thereafter, he toured the U.S. and Canada with
David Kersh (Curb Records), including
performances for Prime Time Country on TNN and numerous radio shows. As fate
would have it, this turn of events led him to his dream job of becoming first
violin/fiddle player for Ray Price
through 2001. This also inspired Bobby to record his debut CD, “Just For The
Record”. In 2002, Bobby received a Grammy Award for string and brass
arrangements and violin performances on
Freddy Fender's CD, “La Musica de Baldemar Huerta”.
It’s 2007, and Bobby Flores is continuously gaining recognition as one of Texas’
premier musicians and vocalists, both on stage and in the studio.
Bobby Flores died on June 23, 2022.
