July 7, 2025Amazing Artist
We had an outdoor party this June with Bobby Crawford providing the music. I can’t rave enough about his talent as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. I listened to his music and knew this was the musician I wanted to hire. We were blessed that he was able to play for our event and we will always be grateful.
If you are in need of this type of musician, don’t think twice, contact him immediately and hire him, you won’t regret it! He has a great personality and he is wonderful with guests! We rate Bobby a 10 plus!!!

April 7, 2025Bobby Crawford Rocks!
I hired Bobby Crawford to play at our company's cocktail party. He was professional, personable, and is an amazing singer. The crowd enjoyed his music so much that we extended him for another hour! If you are looking for a performer who exceeds expectations, hire Bobby Crawford. We will definitely be contacting him for our event next year. Thanks Bobby!

Stephen, thank you for the kind words and for having me as the entertainment for your company’s event. Your guests were warm, welcoming, and a joy to play for. There’s no greater compliment than being asked to stay an extra hour! Looking forward to exceeding expectations even more at the next one.
Thanks again!

My family and I have used Bobby for at least 4 events. Each time he has gotten better and better! He is a great communicator, on time, and worth every dollar. He is collaborative and wants to ensure you hear the music you want to hear! Not to mention he has unbelievable talent. We have booked Bobby for a rehearsal dinner and multiple wedding showers. We will definitely continue to book him in the future.

Anna, always such a pleasure to play at your family's events. You guys are seriously such a wonderful family. Like I told your dad at this last one, with a 3rd child getting married in just a few years, "your kids seem to have no problem finding love... you must have taught them well!". Makes me so happy to see that kind of family bond, and being a part of your celebrations means a lot to me. Thanks again, already looking forward to the next one!

December 5, 2025Great Vocalist & Song Choices!
I saw Bobby Crawford perform at a friend’s wedding welcome party at The Lytle Park Hotel in Cincinnati. He was incredible! He has an amazing voice and such a great setlist, a perfect mix of older and newer songs that everyone knows but aren’t overplayed. Very polished and professional as well. I highly recommend Bobby Crawford Music, honestly one of the best wedding musicians in Cincinnati!

What to expect
Whether you're planning a wedding, a company event, or a backyard gathering, I show up with one simple goal: to make your event feel unforgettable in the best way.
Clients often tell me I was the "highlight of the evening" or that guests are still talking about the music months later, which is the highest compliment I could ever hope for. From the moment you book, I keep communication clear and easy. We'll customize a setlist that fits your vibe perfectly, with me doing all the heavy lifting. If there are a few special requests you want included, I’m happy to learn them. I can also take requests in real time, and I’m quick on my feet with songs I haven’t even played before. I was once referred to as a "human jukebox".
Some events call for warm, elegant background music. Others call for a singalong to "Take Me Home, Country Roads." I’ve done it all, and I’ll read the room and deliver what’s needed, with great sound quality, seamless transitions, and a genuine presence that makes your guests feel connected.
All I need is a standard power outlet and a setup space, and I bring everything else: professional-grade sound equipment, a Taylor guitar, and a voice that’s been trusted at hundreds of weddings, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, and private parties over the last 15+ years.
If you're looking for live music that feels personal, polished, and completely dialed in to your event, I'd love to be a part of it.
About
Hi, I’m Bobby, a singer and guitarist from Cincinnati, with a deep love for music.
I’ve had the privilege of performing at over 500 events across the Midwest and beyond. My guitar playing and singing started as a curiosity at 13 years old, a hobby by 16, bar gigs at 20, and then for 15 years, sprinkling in private events while advancing a demanding corporate career.
By 2024, the inner voice urging me to pursue music more fully became impossible to ignore. I realized I was doing both myself, and the people who connected with what I do, a disservice by not giving it everything I had. So, I finally made the leap to what is now a full-time music career built on trust, professionalism, and a deep appreciation for what live music brings to life’s most meaningful occasions.
Additional booking notes
I require a standard 3-prong power outlet within 100 FT of my setup area.
