An interview with the Gentrys.

Bob welcomes me into his studio with a big smile...

TYLER — Piney Woods Live's Dawn-Renee Rice recently conducted interviews with the father-son artistic duo of A. C. Gentry and Bob Gentry. First on her agenda was Bob Gentry, the musician/producer.

Bob welcomes me into his studio with a big smile and asks if I want to see the place. Of course! This is my first experience in a music studio. Turns out, it’s not what you would expect at all! It’s charming, original, and full of character – not the sterile and modern environment you might see on television.

As we walk past the recording studio, we step into a separate room filled with antiques and vintage equipment. If you’re an antique lover, then you will appreciate the absolute charm of this place. Off to my right, I spot a staircase going up and my eyes light up in obvious curiosity. Bob notices with a grin and asks, “Want to see what I’ve got upstairs?”
