SDSU students gathered in the Performing Arts Center on Oct. 12 to hear the musical stylings of The Bob Guiney Band. The Bob Guiney Band performed for a crowd of about 100 students, who seemed to find the band’s mix of edgy guitar rock music and pop lyrics and melodies a welcome distraction from their studies.

Guiney, who starred in an installment of ABC’s reality series, The Bachelor, is returning to his musical roots. Before becoming America’s favorite bachelor, Guiney was part of the band Fat Amy. They released two full-length albums in the mid-90s and a six-song EP. After a long hiatus, he formed The Bob Guiney Band and released “3 Sides” in 2003.

The show’s opener, JD Thomas, performed an acoustic set of three songs.
