Bob Frey — Songwriter, Teacher

The Eyes of Bob Frey

Bob Frey teaches at the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley, MN.  It is is a comprehensive, tuition-free public high school offer ing a rig or ous academic program, with intensive course work focused in the arts.  Kids from around the state come to pur sue their high school education and their passion for the arts.

Bob has a gift for song writing and performs regularly around town.  Take a listen to some of his songs on his mySpace page.  He honed his craft in the bars and cof­fee houses of his home town of Cleveland, Ohio, as well as in Oxford, Ohio and Chicago for merly fronted The Buskers.

Bob is older brother to James Frey the author of A Million Little Pieces.  You prob­ably know all about that controversy.

On a sadder note, Bob’s wife Laura Ferster has been battling, so far successfully, cancer.  She is still going through treatment with a strength and determination no doubt buoyed by Bob’s constant love and support.  I wish the both much strength and Laura a full recovery.
