The Grammy-nominated contemporary a cappella group known as The Bobs will hold several public performances June 9-10 in Perry. The first are interactive student workshops scheduled for Saturday, June 9 at the Perry Public Library.  Two sessions (10-11 a.m. for K-6 grade and 2-3 p.m. for middle and high school) give students an opportunity to work with professionals in the art of music and song. The grand Perry performance by The Bobs takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 10 at the First United Methodist Church, 1100 Third Street. Admission for the final performance is a freewill offering.  The Bobs are a Grammy-nominated contemporary a cappella quartet known for their incredible live show, witty, tuneful, original material and outrageous covers of classic songs. The Bobs - Richard Bob Greene, Matthew Bob Stull, Amy Bob Engelhardt and Dan Bob Schmacher - are four dynamic personalities who present a show that is part theatre, part comedy, part performance art, but most of all an unique evening of music. The Bobs are a “band without instruments” using just their voices and body percussion to fill the theatre with an orchestra of harmonious sound, accompanying themselves on songs that range from soulful to satire, from amazing to moving, from familiar to unimaginable. The Bob’s appearance is part of the Spot Project, started in November 2003 when the Wallace Foundation awarded The University of Iowa Hancher Auditorium a four-year, $800,000 “Leadership and Excellence in Arts Participation” (LEAP) grant. The purpose was to enhance arts participation in Iowa communities through the use of technology and direct interaction with performing artists. Hancher is collaborating with Hometown Perry, Iowa (HPI) and the Perry Public Library to bring Spot entertainers to Perry.
