I grew up listening to folk music, Beatles/rock-and-roll, then onto singer-songwriters ... the latter being the best description for me. I play acoustic guitar, sing, and write almost everything I record.

Joy Deep As Sorrow

From Bob's 1991 album SONGS FROM BRIGHT AVENUE. In the midst of a painful divorce  ... is there any other kind to those who care about the commitment of marriage? ... Bob Bennett wrote and recorded a cycle of songs meant not only to convey the heartache but also the hope that "hope" would someday return in full force. "I'm Still Alive Tonight" gives words/melody to a glimmer of gratitude in that direction. An artist's very personal diary entry that is, at the same time, universal to so many. 

I'm Still Alive Tonight

Can He, Could He, Would He

At this posting (Friday, August 16, 2024), I'm two-thirds of the way through recording my new album "Everlasting Day". This is a rough mix of "The Lorica". More overdubs, background vocals, and final mixing to come. I have a crowdfunding campaign in progress as well. If you'd kindly consider being a part of that, here's where you can find out more and donate to support the album project.

"My Secret Heart" from Songs from Bright Avenue (1991)

MY SECRET HEART
W/M: Bob Bennett
© 1991 Bright Avenue Songs (ASCAP)

In my secret heart where I really live
I am longing for peace and the will to forgive
In my secret heart where I run to hide
Nobody knows me but you
There's a dark cloud hanging
Full of pain
And I'm caught out in the rain

In my secret heart a stillness gives way
To the sound of a longing for a better day
Behind the easy laughter is a man who is afraid
That he will repeat every mistake that he has made
The lightning flash of anger
Like a drug against the pain
And my secret heart was drowning in the rain

In my secret heart where I really live
I am longing for peace and the will to forgive
In my secret heart where I run to hide
Nobody knows me but you
Nobody can know me but you
Nobody knows me in my secret heart

My Secret Heart

Dream

The Emmanuel Quartet is an acappella gospel group originating in 1989 as the "Highland Academy Men's Quartet."  In 1993 the quartet's name was changed and The Emmanuel Quartet was born.  

The members of the quartet are not only musicians, by desire, but also ministers of the gospel through music.  The mission of the quartet is to reflect God's love through music, reminding His people He is with us and returning soon.  Over the years, the faces have changed but the smooth harmonies and genuine spiritual message remain.

The quartet tours the United States presenting concerts to audiences of all ages and religious affiliations. They've also traveled internationally, participating in several evangelistic events.  The quartet's music is all acappella, featuring barbershop-style harmonies.  Concerts are presented in a manner that would compliment any Christian program.
