Biography:
Bob Reid's first commercial release, “Highway of Heroes,” debuted at #1 on the Nielsen SoundScan Canadian CD singles sales chart in December 2009, and remained Top 20 for four months. In March of 2010, Bob was invited to visit the Canadian Forces mission in Afghanistan where he performed for the troops. That experience led to him writing, recording and releasing a second single, "Soldier, Welcome Home" in July, 2011. Bob also co-hosts (with singer-songwriter Blair Packham) a weekly music-focused talk show, “In The Studio,” heard Saturdays at 8 PM on NewsTalk 1010 in Toronto.
