| Originally from New Jersey, Bobby France began
his musical journey at age 8, playing the drums. In high school Bobby decided
to make the switch to guitar. His first high school band already had two
guitarists so Bobby moved to the frontman spot having sung in church for
many years. |

While in high school, Bobby met Shem Von Schroeck.
Shem's father, Artie, was a very established musician and with the recording
studio in their house, Bobby got a close-up look at the writing and recording
side of the business. Artie (who even wrote a song recorded by Frank Sinatra)
and Shem (who went on to become a nationally recognized bassist) were major
influences in Bobby's choice of career.
Bobby's first serious band was Cracked Actor, which became Arc Angel.
Arc Angel toured the east coast, recorded in New York, Scranton, Louisville
and Philadelphia, opened for many national acts and was voted one of the
best unsigned acts in the country. Arc Angel's recording highlight was
working with James Kottak (Kingdom Come, Scorpions) Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow,
Deep Purple) and Alan Greenwood (Foreigner) as producers. |
| On stage, Bobby developed quite the reputation
for his high energy, high risk shows. After numerous showcases for record
companies and a spec deal with Atlantic Records that fell through, the
band split up. Bobby made his way to Florida joining a group of very talented
A-circuit veterans including Dean Aicher, who played guitar on the new
album, and called themselves Little Tramp. After several years of
touring the southeast U.S., Bobby decided to get off the road and settle
in Orlando. |

Bobby formed 2 AM with guitarist Mark Carter
as a duo, playing the central Florida area. 2 AM grew with additions of
Randy Hibbard on the drums and Rick Jorgenson on bass. Even though 2 AM
is primarily a cover band, Bobby has never lost his passion for original
music. Partnering with longtime friend Rob Huth, Bobby is pursuing his
dream of making a solo cd. Bobby has chosen songs he has written over the
past ten years for this eclectic musical experience. He hopes you like
it. |
