Bob Sima literally burst onto the singer-songwriter scene after taking hiatus from his band Stereopool, a highly successful acoustic power trio STEREOPOOL from the Annapolis, MD area. Stereopool has made a name for themselves in the local and regional scene for their brand of energetic, evocative acoustic power folk music. They shared the stage with NRBQ, Eddie from Ohio, Ari Hest and many local legends and landed a UK distribution deal with Smart Choice Music (Kathleen Edwards, John Prine, Lyle Lovett) and were featured on the Smart Choice Sampler which landed them in Maverick Magazine.
November 2006, Bob released his first solo release entitled POUR IT ON. It was produced by David Weber in Bloomington, Indiana (Krista Detor, Carrie Newcomer) and was quickly named "CD OF THE YEAR" by the former Westside Café. Pour It On is an amazing collection of songs captured "in the moment" with a very live feel. It features Krista Detor and Jason Wilbur (John Prine, Todd Snider, Iris Dement).
Bob receives regular airplay on the following stations:
WTMD, Baltimore, MD
WRNR, Annapolis, MD
