Sunset Dadeze is a group of well-seasoned musical entertainers writing tunes with hooks that keep pulling you in. With three musicians writing, there is a diversity of styles that combine to create music flavored with Americana, Latin and good old Rock and Roll. With all five members having long term roots in Harford County, many have played together in other projects giving the group an easy going feel. Bob, Lindy and Ron share the duties of writing, lead vocals and playing various stringed instruments, while the rhythm section, composed of John and Ken, lay a solid, never boring foundation. Let the hooks catch you and we'll take you from pirating with almost dressed women to the tense streets of Boston.

Bob Sturgill - Vocals, Guitars
Bob is just Bob. Music was just a pastime for Bob during most of his life. He was content to be with friends around campfires and living rooms playing old folk favorites and throwing in an original on occasion. Man, but once he retired, his songwriting flourished and drive to be good at his craft changed his total outlook. Bob writes songs with the best of them. Don't be surprised when you see Bob in the Songwriters Hall of Fame!
