LEGENDARY DRUMMER
AND SONGWRITER
FOR
'C A P T A I N B E Y O N D'
Bobby Caldwell started playing at the age of ten and by
fourteen was playing professionally with many rock groups in the state of
Florida, but primarily “Noah’s Ark”, out of Tampa. After signing with
Decca Records and releasing two singles, the band played constantly throughout
the Eastern U.S. After paying his dues, fate stepped in.
At the age of 19, he was asked to join Johnny Winter’s new
super group “Johnny Winter And”. This group featured Rick Derringer and
Randy Hobbs, formerly with the McCoy’s of “Hang On Sloopy” fame. The
album “Johnny Winter And Live” was recorded in New York and Miami and became a
top ten best seller and Johnny’s highest charting album. Bobby also
played on Johnny Winter’s “Saints and Sinners” album, recording with Edgar
Winter, Rick Derringer and the late Dan Hartman.
Rick Derringer asked Bobby to
play on his first solo LP “All American Boy”, which was recorded entirely at
Caribou Ranch in Colorado. This partnership produced the classic top ten
hit, “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo.”
While touring with the Allman
Brothers Band as a third drummer and percussionist, Caldwell had the pleasure
of playing with them at the Fillmore East when they recorded their historic
album, The Allman Brothers, “Live at the Fillmore East”.
In the early to mid seventies,
Captain Beyond arose from the ashes of Iron Butterfly, Johnny Winter And, and
Deep Purple. Introduced to Phil Walden by the late Duane Allman, the band
signed with Capricorn Records. Captain Beyond’s first album remains a
progressive rock cult classic to this day. The band enjoys heavy airplay
on satellite radio and a large following in Europe and the far East.
Bobby’s contributions to the music, lyrics and song arrangements are evident
throughout.
Following Captain Beyond, he was
enlisted to join the supergroup Armageddon. Founded by the late Keith
Relf from “The Yardbirds,” Armageddon comprised of England’s renowned super
guitarist, Martin Pugh, Bobby Caldwell and Louis Cennamo. The group produced
one album for A&M Records. Once again, Bobby was a major contributor
to the song writing and direction of the band.
Recently, Bobby has been playing
with the reformed Captain Beyond, as well as many other projects. He is a
dedicated professional, always looking for new and exciting musical ventures.
Highly spiritual, Bobby also
holds a Masters Degree in Metaphysics and is an Ordained Metaphysical Minister.
He neither smokes, nor drinks, nor uses drugs and lives an extremely clean
lifestyle. He is truly a sincere, humble and caring artist. His
love and motivation to create new music is, as it has always been, steadfast
and unwavering.
