Kerrville Festivals

Singer-Songwriter, author, and painter Bobby Bridger is a true Renaissance Man. Bobby is known around here mostly for writing the Kerrville Folk Festival anthem "Heal in the Wisdom" which is the closing song to each year's festival.

Even though Bobby has been on the road for over three decades with his trilogy of acclaimed one-man theatrical shows A Ballad of the West, he has continued to make appearances as a singer/songwriter across the country. His original style, found mostly on his earlier RCA records, landed him two gigs alongside B.W. Stevenson and Asleep at the Wheel on the first and third seasons of PBS's Austin City Limits, not to mention an entire chapter in Jan Reid's legendary book about the Austin music scene, The Improbable Rise of Redneck Rock. Bridger also spent years working in Nashville with Fred Carter, Jr. and produced several albums for RCA records. Indeed, his career as a singer/songwriter has only continued to blossom since then.
