Bart Bishop younger brother to Randy Bishop and elder to Theodore Bishop was best known for his musical talents throughout the West Coast as the lead singer and 1970’s musical group Providence (7). A Boise band their album Ever Sense The Dawn received airplay on radio stations throughout the Northwest and in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Untrained but extremely gifted he gathered band members asking "Do you play an instrument? Lets get together and jam sometime.” His enthusiasm and openness encouraged many who had never improvised or played pop music to branch out and explore new horizons. In recent years he worked with his brother, Theo, recording the self titled CD ”Bartholomew Bishop” on his own Peace Cymbol Records. His most recent projects included another CD of original music and a tribute project honoring Sid Bernstein who who was responsible for bringing the Beatles to the U.S. Bart, as he was lovingly known to his family and friends, sadly passed away October 19, 2009 at his home in Valencia, California.
