Some Shots from The Roxy Show
A couple slides from the last Roxy Show taken from my Instagram account. Such a blast!
Live at The Roxy Theatre – Oct 11, 2023
I’ll be doing a little acoustic opener at The Roxy on Oct 11 –for Mustangs Of The West’s private album listening party. Though the event is private event, they’re actually having a sweepstakes; giving away tickets for you and a friend to attend!
All details at: https://blueelan.com/blogs/news/live-at-the-roxy-sweepstakes
Also on the bill in Morgan Myles, who some of you might know from The Voice.
I’ll probably only do 3 or 4 songs as an unplugged warm up…and early in the night, but I look forward to checking out the show myself! Thanks Mustangs of the West!
Quickie Social Media Update
Please be weary of imposters. This has happened to some other people I know as well. Basically, these jerks swipe all my photos/videos and then create new social media accounts and pretend to be me.
- I don’t chat on ANY social media unless I know you in real life, and even then, I don’t chat too much… this includes, Instagram, WhatsApp (which I don’t even have), Facebook, TikTok (another I don’t use), Twitter X, etc. If you don’t see a Blue Verification Badge, chances are, it’s a fake account. So if you’ve been chatting some someone saying they’re me…there’s a pretty good chance it’s not me.
- I’m not “looking for love”, hookups, money, gift cards, etc… Anyone who asks you for money online that you’ve never met before, should raise a red flag.
- Please Report accounts that you know for sure are not me. I can’t always keep up and monitor the entire web.
Just be careful, please. It’s not flattering and it makes me feel pretty lousy to know people are using my images to catfish people. Also, as much as I wish I knew another language, I’m only fluent in English: just recently someone sent me screenshots of conversations my imposters had all in Spanish.
My Official Social Media Links are listed at the links below…anyone else is NOT me. Most are only “@BobGentry”

I don’t use WhatsApp at all.
More Recording
This last Thursday, I did more recording at Clear Lake Recording Studios in Burbank, CA. I got to reunite with producer Dave Darling, who I haven’t seen since he produced my “Back on the Horse EP” and “Fortune Favors” released on Blue Elan Records.
I was lucky enough to get to sing a track written and produced by Kirk Pasich and Dave Darling. As a songwriter, I usually like to record my own stuff but after one listen to the demo version, I knew immediately I wanted to I track it! It’s catchy AF! Not sure when it’ll be released, but I can’t wait to hear the finished recording.
More to come…

Release Day – Precious to Me
Today is the official release of “Precious to Me” … I’ve been talking about it a bunch while it’s been in the pre-order stage (mostly because I think it’s a GREAT record), but now it’s available on **ALL streaming services** like Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc…

NO, I’m NOT on TikTok any longer
I was on TikTok at this linkhttps://www.tiktok.com/@bob.gentry
But due to scammers creating fake accounts there, and TikTok doing nothing about people pretending to be me, you won’t find me there now.
I was really enjoying Instagram… I liked it mostly because there’s really not much thinking required …”Oh, look at the pretty pictures and videos!” It also let me avoid all the political stuff…though I’m a political person, Facebook was stressing me out and giving me panic attacks so I’d been hiding out with a small group on Instagram…but now even that’s changing.
In the last few months, I’ve been dealing with people on Instagram stealing my photos and pretending to BE me. Either someone would point it out to me, or I’d find it myself when trying to tag myself (There’s a fan club group on Facebook someone created, and it’s filled with delightful and diligent people helping me track these people and take them down). I’m super grateful for the help, but I admit when I see someone fraudulently pretending to be me, I feel really icky. Hell, some of the fake people had more followers there than I do! So if you’re seeing anyone other than @BobGentry say they’re me on IG, they’re definitely NOT; I only have 1 account there.
Instagram has been helpful removing these fake accounts, but they keep popping up. I applied many times for a blue badge but apparently I’m not famous enough…I’m only famous enough that people think my image will be good to scam people with [rolls eyes]. I suppose I should be flattered.. I’m not.
Some of these fake people were pointing people to my website trying to make themselves more “official”…so if you’re reading this having had followed one of those other fakers, I’m happy you’re here, but please know those are NOT me. That being said, I’m happy to make social media friends 🙂
