He’s toured playing bass with Frankie Ballard, fellow New Yorkers Albert Hammond Jr (The Strokes) and The Mooney Suzuki and as leader and songwriter of The Fame (whose name Lady Gaga is rumored to have used as inspiration for her album of the same moniker.) He is founder and executive producer of Diddy Wah Records - an independent specialty label devoted to the continuation and preservation of the GIRL GROUP, DOO WOP, GARAGE ROCK, SURF, SOUL and classic RHYTHM & BLUES sound of the mid-1960’s. On his debut album, Happenings And Other Things, Bo worked with Fountains Of Wayne main man Adam Schlesinger (“Stacy’s Mom”, “That Thing You Do”.) His music has appeared on the hit ABC-TV show "Nashville" and in television commercials for Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Jameson Whiskey, HP and others. He’s been seen and heard on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and famed British radio DJ John Peel’s “Peel Sessions” in the UK. As a member of the Cabin Down Below band - a collection of NYC musicians who produce Petty Fest, a tribute to Tom Petty in cities all over the U.S. - Bo has performed on stage with Norah Jones, Jakob Dylan, Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, Ann Wilson of Heart, Butch Walker, and Donald Fagen among others. If you have a keen eye, he can be spotted playing with The Mooney Suzuki in DreamWorks Pictures war satire Tropic Thunder, starring Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.
