We’re kicking off this year’s Men’s Forum with something a little different.

Bob Perkins and members of The Bobcats will join us for an afternoon of stories, music, and conversation. We’ll hear how the band came together, meet some of the personalities behind the music, and get a glimpse of what it’s really like to rehearse, perform, travel, and keep a band together.

Bob has devoted much of his retirement to music, writing and performing, and The Bobcats continue to play live shows, including a 2026 appearance at New York’s historic Edwards Opera House.

And since you can’t invite a band to Men’s Forum and only make them talk, we’re hoping Bob and the band will bring along their instruments and treat us to a few songs as well.

Come hear the stories behind The Bobcats, enjoy some live music, and help us kick off the Men’s Forum season.
