"be better to your neighbors and you’ll have better neighbors…. (doggone you)!” ================================================== those are the words bobby marquez lives by. You can tell by his infectious smile. Of course those words were made famous by one of his musical heroes and fellow texan, ernest tubb. "wow what a band. The texas troubadours put their souls into that music and just made you want to dance along. ”

no big surprise then that when you hear bobby’s music, you can’t help but move your feet and hum along. His catchy melodies have soared up the texas charts with two top twenty hits and his first number one single, "that’s life. ”

bobby’s breakout single "she’s not from texas” stayed on the charts for an impressive 26 weeks topping such legendary favorites as willie nelson and rodney crowell. Not too bad for a kid from a town known for rattlesnakes and dancehalls. Bobby grew up in freer, texas where he became a baseball champ. It wasn’t until he was a teenager that he even picked up a guitar and wrote his first song. "i was always a little shy, so music was a chance for me to express my feelings. ”

after high school, bobby hit the stage perfoming alongside john michael montgomery, martina mc bride, asleep at the wheel, neal mc coy, clay walker, rick trevino, lonestar, michael peterson, leona williams, earl thomas conley, mel tillis, jimmy c. Newman, trent willmon, billy currington, the grascals and riders in the sky. "one of the greatest moments in my career was singing on stage with ray price. The man has one of the greatest voices ever!” and bobby’s "neon tan” recording with johnny rodriguez is fast becoming a college campus favorite. Bobby continues to reach audiences worldwide with performances over the radio and internet on such shows as the wsm opry star spotlight and the ernest tubb midnite jamboree. A coveted spot on the stage at nashville’s cma music fest has allowed him to entertain fans from australia to portugal to sweden to texas to new york city. "you’ll never know what it means to me when someone buys a cd and i get downright emotional with standing ovations, but when i see someone dance to one of my songs…. I know i am just where i belong. ”
