THE CATAMOUNT ARTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Bob Amos

Bob Amos joined the Catamount Arts Board of Directors in 2008, and has
been serving as its president since January 2010.

Bob is a professional musician, songwriter and producer. From
1988-2003 he was the lead singer, guitarist and chief songwriter for
FRONT RANGE, one of the top Bluegrass bands in America. Front Range
recorded eight CDs over that time period,  including five for indie
label heavyweight Sugar Hill Records.  Bob has also recorded three
solo CDs, the latest of which features his son Nate and daughter Sarah
playing and singing with him. in 2005 Bob moved with his wife Anne and
two kids to the St. Johnsbury area. He continues to write and perform,
and also runs Stark Brook Productions, a recording studio specializing
in acoustic music.

"After spending most of almost every summer of my life at our old
family place in the Northeast Kingdom I was psyched to finally move up
here full time with my family. The cultural richness of this area was
definitely a big attraction for us. After we settled in I was looking
for a way to get involved with the local community, and a conversation
with Bob Swartz led to me joining the all-volunteer CA board. I had
often attended films at Catamount while in St. J. over the summers,
but I had no idea how much CA had grown in terms of it's depth and
range of programming, and the new building, which was then in its
final renovation stages, completely blew me away. It still does!

While I have always been involved with music, I am also a great fan
and supporter of all the other arts, including film, visual arts,
dance and drama, and Catamount helps to bring it all to the Northeast
Kingdom. I am most excited about two areas of recent growth for us:
the first is in the area of partnerships with other institutions and
organizations, which has enabled us to increase the breadth of
programming that we help to bring to our area; the second is the new
focus on free and low cost community events and programs which will
enable and encourage all members of our regional community to
participate in and experience a wide variety of arts programs.
Catamount Arts is an incredible organization, and a great asset to our
region, and I am delighted to be a part of it!"
