Bobby draws on the expansive landscapes and golden-hued prairie sunsets of his home province of Alberta for inspiration – whether weaved into candid lyrics or embodied through the ethereal melodies. Bobby pushes the boundaries of folk music by incorporating synths, manipulating found sound, and employs a palette of effects to achieve a sound like out of a dream. Pulling from a decade of experience with classical guitar, Bobby favors intricate fingerpicking techniques along with layered observational lyricism to explore vulnerability, societal issues, introspection, and emotional well-being. Bobby is influenced by the emotional production of Sufjan Stevens, the rawness of The Strokes, and the narrative-driven storytelling of Andy Shauf.

Bobby Tarian released his first EP, Moon Remains Seasons Change in 2020, followed with “Here For You” in March 2024. His song “Remember” is featured in Michelle Vance Hehir’s play, One Polaroid.

Currently, Bobby is working on his first full length album.
