Meet Bobby Commodore, a longtime force in Minnesota's gospel, jazz, and R&B communities. From drum kits that drove Sounds of Blackness to leadership roles with Moore By Four (MB4) and Ginger Commodore & GCQ, Bobby has shaped the soundscape of the Twin Cities for decades. A fixture on stages across Minnesota—including the Guthrie Theater, Orchestra Hall, the Ordway, and the Fitzgerald Theater—he continues to inspire both audiences and fellow musicians. His 2025 retirement show marks a full-circle moment—celebrating seven decades of rhythm, collaboration, and community.
