Robert Emmet Dunlap was born in South Boston, "The Irish Riviera", where, early in his career, he was a founding member of popular local bands, The Boston Mass, Hummit, and Newsboy. He has worked as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter in both the U.S. and Ireland, performed and recorded with such artists as Delaney Bramlett, Dillon O'Brien, Metropolitan Opera award winner Dennis McNeil, "Titanic trad band Gaelic Storm, and was lead guitarist for Los Angeles' premier Irish band, The Twilight Lords, for eight years. He has done numerous theater productions at the Celtic Arts Center in Hollywood and did a weekly ten-minute spot for Irish Radio from L.A.
While living in Ireland, "Boston Bob" spent a year touring with bass player and rock legend Noel Redding of "Jimi Hendrix Experience" fame, and developed an increasing love for Irish tunes and ballads that he brought with him to Los Angeles. Hosting a weekly session at the Celtic Arts Center on Hollywood Boulevard, "Robert Emmet's Flying Circus", he juggled everything from jazz standards to blues, Irish, Scottish, and American folk songs, Show tunes, Opera singers, and the "International Celtic Samba Band.
Bob's songs have been recorded by a growing number of artists in a variety of genres. His song Mick Ryan's Lament is becoming a classic and has been recorded by many, including Dillon O'Brian, Ken O'Malley, bluegrass legend Tim O'Brien, and world-renown fiddler Kevin Burke with Ged Foley. |
