Bob Gentry Returns To Music With 'Back On The Horse' EP After Ten Year Hiatus

Singer-songwriter Bob Gentry has released his first new single, “20 Years to Life,” from his forthcoming EP, Back on the Horse, which is set for release on October 28th from Blue Élan Records.

 
Gentry is “Back on the Horse” after he left music and relocated to Palm Springs ten years ago. Last year, Blue Élan Records co-founder, Kirk Pasich reached out to ask if Gentry had any new music and that conversation led to a record deal.

Gentry explains the meaning behind his first single:

“Well, it’s actually a quirky love song, and about commitment. People joke about marriage and relationships being some sort of Life Sentence, but liking someone enough to say, ‘Yes, lock me up, no parole, let me prove it by sticking around, cuff me up, etc…’ is what the song’s all about. I had fun swiping legal terms and trying to be clever. I actually worried that the legal analogies might have been a little over-the-top, but when I started writing it, the song almost wrote itself."

Gentry was previously a founding member of the Grunge-influenced Rock band Moisture before pursuing a solo career. He says, regarding his return to music:

“I know second chances don’t often come around, I’m ready to give this all I have.  Like so many things in my life, I keep asking myself ‘Is this really happening? And now, at this stage in my life?’ Crazy!"
