When you start making your Christmas gift list, look for legendary Lowell singer-songwriter Bob Martin’s new CD, “Live at The Bull Run,” in early December. The new recording has four new songs in addition to stellar performances of some of his best known songs. Check availability on Bob’s website, www.riversong.com

For 2011, Bob has a 12-date tour set for Europe, where his rootsy-folkie Americana music is a hit with the locals.
